That is where the money order was sent to. I have no idea where it was sent from.
Mr. Hubert.
Well, what is this part then about, YMCA?
Mr. Lewis.
We have an "Office Issued" and there is a rubber stamp on the check where it was issued at, but I have no idea or know where it was coming from. That was where the check was written up at, at the Cotton Exchange.
Mr. Hubert.
And it was addressed to the payee?
Mr. Lewis.
To the payee at the YMCA.
Mr. Hubert.
How are those checks handled? For instance, when it was sued by the Cotton Exchange branch, would it have been mailed or delivered?
Mr. Lewis.
Delivered by boy.
Mr. Hubert.
Delivered by boy?
Mr. Lewis.
To the clerk.
Mr. Hubert.
To the addressee?
Mr. Lewis.
To the clerk at the YMCA. The clerk signs for it and keeps them there in a little box they have there.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you know of your own knowledge whether this was done in this case? That is to say, that the clerk receipted for it at the YMCA?
Mr. Lewis.
So far as I know, that is how it was handled.
Mr. Hubert.
I mean if you know that absolutely, or are you just assuming that is the way?
Mr. Lewis.
I am just assuming that is the way it was handled.
Mr. Hubert.
You don't have any particular knowledge on this occasion?
Mr. Lewis.
No; I don't.
Mr. Hubert.
Can you give us a description of this individual?
Mr. Lewis.
The only thing I could remember was that he was of a feminine, very slender build fellow.
Mr. Hubert.
What do you mean?
Mr. Lewis.
Well, he talked funny and peculiar.
Mr. Hubert.
Did he have an accent?
Mr. Lewis.
No accent. Just the way a person acts.
Mr. Hubert.
What was his mannerism?
Mr. Lewis.
Mannerism was feminine.
Mr. Hubert.
In what way?
Mr. Lewis.
Well, I don't know how to describe it.
Mr. Hubert.
Just an overall impression?
Mr. Lewis.
Just an overall impression, of the person. As far as remembering his weight and height and everything like that, I wouldn't. I have no idea.
Mr. Hubert.
Was he dark complexioned?
Mr. Lewis.
Dark complexioned.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember the color of his eyes?
Mr. Lewis.
No, sir.
Mr. Hubert.
Had dark hair?
Mr. Lewis.
That is the only thing I remember.
Mr. Hubert.
How was he dressed?
Mr. Lewis.
I don't recall that either.
Mr. Hubert.
Was he alone?
Mr. Lewis.
No, sir. There was a companion with him.
Mr. Hubert.
How did you know that the person with him was with him ? In fact was a companion?
Mr. Lewis.
They were talking. They came together and left together both times.
Mr. Hubert.
I understand you to say that the companion of the payee that we have been talking about was of a Latin American or Spanish type?
Mr. Lewis.
Yes; that I do recall.
Mr. Hubert.
By that, you mean what?
Mr. Lewis.
Dark complexioned, and just looked of Spanish descent.
Mr. Hubert.
Latin American?
Mr. Lewis.
Latin American descent.
Mr. Hubert.
They were speaking English?
Mr. Lewis.
Normal speech in English.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you notice any Spanish accent?
