(Testimony of Mrs. Mahlon F. Tobias)

Mrs. Tobias.
Yes; that's the deposit.
Mr. Jenner.
On number 2 that means apartment number 2 at that entrance 604?
Mrs. Tobias.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
Then, I see here a second receipt dated the same date number 0126, in the sum of $17, apartment 2, marked "void." What was the circumstance on that receipt being marked "void?"
Mrs. Tobias.
Let me see---then you have another one?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes.
Mrs. Tobias.
My husband perhaps thought he was going to be paid by the week and that's why he voided that one.
Mr. Jenner.
And that was voided on the same occasion?
Mrs. Tobias.
Yes a lot of them pay by the week, you see?
Mr. Jenner.
Ascertaining that he was going to pay by the month, a third receipt was made out, number 0127 in the name of L. H. Oswald for $68?
Mrs. Tobias.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
So, at this moment, he has now paid $68 plus $5 deposit?
Mrs. Tobias.
That's correct.
Mr. Jenner.
So, his payment is altogether $73?
Mrs. Tobias.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
And the $5 deposit is for what?
Mrs. Tobias.
Well, that's the key deposit.
Mr. Jenner.
And when the tenant surrenders the key, he gets his $5 back?
Mrs. Tobias.
Well, if they leave the apartment clean or half way decent, she will refund it.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, in your record here that you keep, this is kept in the usual, regular and ordinary course of business?
Mrs. Tobias.
You mean my husband keeps this--we keep these books.
Mr. Jenner.
You keep these books regularly?
Mrs. Tobias.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And they are your permanent records?
Mrs. Tobias.
That's right have them from the time we moved in.
Mr. Jenner.
And these entries are all true and correct?
Mrs. Tobias.
That's correct.
Mr. Jenner.
And they are entries of receipts of rental payments for your tenants, including Mr. Oswald?
Mrs. Tobias.
That's correct.
Mr. Jenner.
The first of those payments consists of the ones I have recited on the 3d of November 1962, and the last of which was the $8 payment on February 8, 1963?
Mrs. Tobias.
That's correct that's the last one.
Mr. Jenner.
That paid his rent for the month of March?
Mrs. Tobias.
Through the 3d or to the 3d.
Mr. Jenner.
It paid it for the month of February and to and including the 3d day of March 1963?
Mrs. Tobias.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he vacate the premises on the 3d of March?
Mrs. Tobias.
Yes; he did. He moved o t and that was on a Sunday that he moved out and we note when he moved out.
Mr. Jenner.
Go right ahead.
Mrs. Tobias.
They moved on this baby stroller. We thought that was so funny, because they just now, you see, you perhaps have already talked to these people where they moved over on Neely.
Mr. Jenner.
They moved to where from your place?
Mrs. Tobias.
On Neely like this is Elsbeth, right down here on the corner.
Mr. Jenner.
Excuse me, why don't we use our little plat here, Tobias Exhibit No. 1?
Mrs. Tobias.
This is his apartment--right down here on Neely Street.
Mr. Jenner.
On what street?
Mrs. Tobias.
On Neely--now, this is Elsbeth.
Mr. Jenner.
And Neely also runs north and south?
Mrs. Tobias.
Yes---no; wait a minute, it runs east and west Well, it's right
