My superior, the staff Sergeant would make
my superior was absent it would be for me to
make such contacts. I have made contact with Mr. Cunningham before. I contacted him on the very day he was first transferred there. I went into his office. I went into his office and identified myself.
We shook hands
transferred and
I expressed my welcome to him because he was became cur officer-in-charge.
He asked me to sit
and after I sat down I had a conversation with him. I first talked

I offered. He told me he had knowledge that some money was paid to him by members of the Uniform Branch but he said he did not require these monthly payments and he wanted to have this money transferred
elsewhere. He told me to see him the next day. I went to see him
