Govwnment money there.
Q. Did you in themeantime use

A, I MM not say positively. As I
told YW. I vary often make ad-
vances and just take a note _ot them.
Q. Apart from advances to the staff
or for other Govemment purposes.
was the balance of the funds in the
safe?
A. To the best ol my knowledge,
apart from any legitmats advances
thevbalance of the flmds were in
the safe. '
Q. On the same date that is March
3, 1928, you also canhed mother
Canada Cement Comlpany's cheque
amounting to 88.11. Did you keep this
money with funds received for the
$485.80?
A. Yes.
Q. You knew the 8985.08 is the ex-
caa amount that was to 'the credit
of the Bank account over and above
outstanding cheques. Why then did
you tell the Premier on the first oc-
dagion he spoke to you that the
$495.80 cheque was included in the
$986.08 item.
A. I did not tell him that. He
might have misunderstood me. I told
hfm that the bank account showed an
excess of 8966-08 and I thought D0!-
sibly I might have deposited twice
by mistake some of the money that
I had received. "
Q. 'rh-is* suggests a rather loose
system of handling funds. does it not?
A. Yes, I admit that probably
things were not just what they should
have been in connection with the
refundirlg of that money. but we
never departed from the principle
we started with. ,
Q. Your evidence now is you with-
held the $485.80 cheques as you con-
sidered the Bank account incorrect
and you wished to have the bank ac-
count checked up. Why did you not
fell the Premiewthis instead of tell-
ing him the $485.80 cheque was ln-
cluded in the $958.08 item?
A. 'I'he statement I made about the
bank account was at the end of 1928.
When the 8485.80 cheque came in
February 11738. the 1927 account was
closed while the cheque was for bus-
iness transacted in 1927.
Q. When the accounts were closed
for 1927 was there anything ‘to in-
dicate thot- there was ll. possibility
of there being a surplus in the bank
account? ‘
A, I do not remember about that.
I was busy at the time and did not
check the account at all.
Q. Bo far as you can remember it
was not until the 1928 accounts were
closed that it was discovered that
there was a. surplus in the Highway
Improvement Account?
A.Sofau-aslcanremembernow
that was what happened.
‘ Q. why did you let the Provincial
Auditor' make a false and incorrect
audit of 'the Public Works accounts
by withholding all knowledge of this
$485.80 cheque from him?
A. I cazft say that there was any?
withholding at any time. I do not
think you asked me any questions
about receipts. You knew that all dur-
ing the period there was money irl
my possession and credited to the
account and there was not any ques-
-tions asked. The statements I pre-
Pllod for you were never audited or
checked. I did not withhold that
knowledge any more than I withheld
any other knowledge relative to the
highway business. There was never
a question asked me`at any time as
to the credits that passed through
the Highway Account. I passed
through credits for charges and
there was no questions asked about
them. We took them for granted.
Q. 'rock what for granted?
A. I did not think ‘there wa.s'e._ny
necessity of telling you what was
-there. You never asked me about

any crcdts that went through. I took
'lt for granted you presumed they
were all right.
Q. The point here is what was your
reason st the end of 1929 for not dis-
closing the fact that you had cer-
tain funds on hand out of the 8486.80
cheque you cashed in March 1928.?
A. Until I had satisfied` myself
if I had a balance of $960.08. Ithought
ie was quite possible for me to have
deposited some money twice and for-
got about it, and I wanted to clear
this up before reporting the full bal-
ance.
Q. Why did you not tell the audit-
or you thought the Bank Account
was incorrect?
ltldonotknowasthlelewasvery
much excuse for it. I was not check-
ing the bank account personally and
I thought if I could let it go until
I could find time for it I could check
the account myself. Our Bank Account
was always checked _in the Public
Works Office.
Q. Do you llot think that you should
have reported the flmds on hand and
the fact that there seemed to be
some question albout the accuracy of
the Bank account to the auditor at
this time? ‘ _
A. For reasons that I have already
explained the matter was allowed to
stand in abeyanoe.
Q. When did you first think the
bank account was in.correc't?
A. I do not remember exactly.
Q. What caused you to think it was
incorrect?
A. The checking of the account
showed that there was apparently an
excess. .
Q. To what extent did you think it
was incorrect?
A. I had no exact idea..As it show-
ed a credit of $956.08 I thought the
wise plan was to tum that i.n to the
credit of 'thc account for the time
being.
Q. Did you have so much money
yourself as not to bo able to definite-
ly know you were paying too much
money in to the Goverrunent?
A. (No answer.)
Q. I1 you felt you were paying your
ovlm money in to the Government why
did you not chock up the Bank oo-
colult without delay, instead of walt-
lng eighteen months? V
A. During the year 1928 it was ab-
solutely impassible for me to devote
time to checking the Bank account,
ns I was too busy.
Q. When did you intend to check
up the Bank Account to find out if
it was correct or incorrect?
A. As near as I can remember I
spoke to Mrs. Gallant several times
irl 1929 that we must come back and
check the account, ao that we could
clear up that balance. At the time
Mr. Hart came we were squaring a-
way to get it done.
Early in 1928 you also received a
cheque from DeBlois Bros., Ltd. for
$l02.23 which it seems you cashed
but did not account for until May
1929. Where were these funds in the
meantime?
A. The funds would be in the safe,
I plesume, less any amounts that I
had paid out. V
Q. 'What use was made of them?
A, As I have explained before, in-
valrialbly when I had money on hand
I frequently made advances to P60-
ple.
Q. What was the ds/te you receiv-
ed this cheque?
A. I do not remember. ,
Q. Did you go to the DeBlo|s of-
fice for it? .
A, I do not know whether I did or
not. I know I sent for it differ-
cnt times, but whether I went person-
ally I do not remember.
Q. Was the cheque delivered to you
personally in DeBlois Bros. office?
A. As I said before, I do not re-
member. ' . __
Q. Why did yell make a personal
visit to get this cheque?
AA. 'rim ls covered before. `»
Q. Where were the funds kept?
A. In the safe with the othi' funds.
Q. Were these funds in the office
safe in the Public Worin Depart-
ment? _
A, Yes.
qnidyouuseauypartoftheso

A.Idonotknow,ast.heasfunds
werernired up withmy own funds.
Q. How' is it you have no record
‘nt cheque for $13.50 received Jan-
uary 19, loan . V
A. I do not remember at this time
no recollection at this time regarding
how it was disposed of. I presume
the Government got credit for it.
Q. How did you expect the auditor
to make a correct or proper audit
when you did not mention anything
to him about the $485.80 cheque--the
$102.23 cheque--and $1350 cheque or
'the 86.11 cheque.? `
A. All the credits during the High-
way period were not checked or aud-
ited and they were all handled the
same. There was not any specific
‘dflference.
Q. In other words. you were follow-
ing the same system in regard to
these miscellaneous receipts which
.provement account programmes was
begun, whether it was right or wrong?
A. Yes. Probably the whole thing
was wrong, but the Auditor did not
ask any questions about it or I did
not offer an explanations.
Q. On May 6, 1929 you cashed an-
other Canada Cemcnt Company's
cheque for $448.00 dated Feb. 1, 1929.
Will you state what you did with
these fluids when the money was
paid by the bank?
A. l took them over and put them
in the safe with the other funds.
Q. Did you use any or all of this
amount personally?
A. No. But that was abou tthe time
I had several hundred dollars of my
own money in the safe and I did
take out $500. I think it was that I
got for my dividends. It was all cash
and when I was taking my own money
I do not know .as to the species of
the money I took out.
Q. Did you deposit the funds in
your personal account?
A. I, have already explained what
was done in this respect.
Q. If none of these things' were
done, just where was the money be-
tween May 6, 1929 and the time you
accounted for it some wgeks later?
A. I advanced $75 to one of the
Highway Superintendents which I
got later. I may also have advanced
small amounts to members of the
staff or to nlymlf. This was done fre-
quently and the funds were always
accounted for,
Q. When you were asked by the
Premier on May 21st t,o show him
these funds you were unable it ap-
pears, to produce the sum of $448.00
from the officg safe. All you could
-Where was the different between
$370 and $448 at that time?
A. There was over $500 in the safe
at that time. I do not remember the
exact a/mount but it was somewhere
can remember, without any I. O. U.'s.
Q. You consider then at the time
you exhibited this money to the
Premier that you had more than
$370. _
A. Yes. '
Q. The date on which
you exhibited the funds to the Pre-
mier amountillg to $370. you appar-
ently had on hand funds amourltiru
to at least $32.90 belonging to Fal-
conwood account. Were these fundsl
part of the $370, which you exhbit-
ed to the Premier?
A. It should be in the safe as near
as I can calculate, unless it was in
the Falconwood receipt book.
Q. Would the Falconwood cash be
