riom the evidence iilieadv presented
It Is npp.uently evident that the com
monwealth depends largely for coml'
lion upon the testimony of Its expert,
Miyer Goldsmith, ns to his Intel pie
tatlons of tho accounts In the 'ml
book, and other books of the People's
bank, and upon the Jury's opinion of
the books papers, letteis. telegiama
and cheike offered in evidence As to
what extent the testimony of the dc -folic
e'.sexpe it should he bp called ma
offset Mi Goldsmiths testimony i
innlns to be seen The contention of
the deft in p In aigument and cios
examination has been that the calcula
tions of Mi Goldsmith aie not borne
out b the books, but on the other
hand show that Mr. Quuv did not lis.
state ninnc tun receive Interest en
state deposits, and that whatever loins
he received wen inaele In the custom
ary manner and b ic ked by sutllclei.t
