THE HERMANN CASE.

EVIDENCE FOR THE DEFENCE,

(Received March 17, 10.15 p.m.)

Sydney, March 17

In the Hermann case an accountant who examined the accounts said he found that no proceeds of three of the bills said to have been forged went into Hermann's private account, all being paid into the business of J. Earle Hermann, Limited. During 1913-14 Hermann drew £1649, though he was entitled to a salary of £2000 per annum plus expenses, approximately £5000, instead of £1649. At the time of the smash in August the books showed an undrawn balance of £17,000 to Hermann's credit.

The case for the defence is closed
