Mr. GRIFFIN. Could somebody, if somebody had broken into the building,
could they have carried this safe away?
Mr. CRAFARD. Yes, sir. The safe was in his office and the office was
always locked and I was there all the time.

from the Carousel Club and Andy when he checked out if Jack wasn’t
there, the safe had a compartment in the bottom they claimed was a
burglarproof compartment in the bottom, had an envelope slot in it and
he, would drop an envelope with the money in it.
Mr. GRIFFIN. What would be done with the money at the end of the night?
What would he do with the money?
Mr. CRAFARD. The next day Jack would take the money out and count it up.

positive of that.
