On that day, the Bus Company, being suspicious, em ployed two men in plain clothes to board any bus, purchase a ticket and to write down in a book the time, place where he boarded

the bus, bus number and route number. Lator, these two men handed these books over to the company. In each caso, the number of the forged ticket which was sold was not entered as sold in defendant's way-bill.
