He said "I have handed
that $50 10 you, shroff." That was said in the presence of Mr. Phelips and Mr. Han mer, and they could hear it, they were both close to defendant, Witness said "When?" and defendant made no reply. Witness shook his head in denial of the receipt of the money. At the first interview defendant told Mr. Phelips that he had paid the $50 to witness. Witness heard defendant say something about getting their money from his house. That was at the second interview, after he had said he paid the money to witness. Witness remembered what defendant then said. He said to Mr. Phelips in English, "Don't blame it so hard on me, it is not my fault." Mr. Phelips replied, "It is.
Then defendant said entirely your fault."
