His practice was to take the duplicate receipts to tbo (.'onimlssioners' olllce personally, He could not bay whether lie took a receipt there that day, or not, but ho never let the receipts ac cumulate in his olllce more than a month at a time, Thu witness could not remember who brought tho $10,000 to his olllce, but thought It was some oue from the Commissioners' olllce.
