"While acting as cashier, I kept a daily record of the business conducted at these gambling houses and each night Pete Penovich would check this record except on a few occasions when he would ask me how it checked. Each day I would furnish Frank Milano, pay-off cashier, for the horse races, with funds for a bank roll and at the end of the day I would check the amount he had on hand in order to arrive at the profits resulting on the losses resulting from the horse race business for the day. Each day I would furnish the pay-off cashier for the games with a bank roll and the next morning I would check up the amount on hand to determine the profit or loss from the games. By the games I mean roulette, twenty-one, craps, black jack, The Cage, etc. While I was employed as cashier in the gambling houses run by the syndicate and referred to by me in this affidavit I purchased Cashier's checks at the Pinkert Bank with the profits of the business and I turned the cashier's check over to Bobbie, the collector for or representative of the syndicate, and on some few occasions I handed the cashier's checks to Pete Penovich. On some occasione I cashed the cashier's checks and used the money in the business. When the syndicate took over the business from Jimmie Mundi they did not furnish funds for a bank roll to operate the business as I used the bank roll on hand when Mundi was declared out by the syndicate. When I discontinued as cashier I turned over the money I had on hand to Post Time Volpe who is a brother of Mops Volpe. After Frank Ryan took charge I did not act as cashier and Post Time took charge of the money. I was employed by the syndicate in 1927 and 1928 and after Mundi was out I had no other employment during those years except by the syndicate. On frequent occasions Ralph Capone and Jack Guzik would ask me how the business was getting along and I would report to them that it was good, bad or fair. I had bank accounts in the Pinkert State Bank under assumed names as follows: A. C. Marble, A. S. Durnell, J. C. Dunbar, and I.C. Dunbar. These accounts were used by me for the business of the gambling houses where I was employed and they do not represent any of my personal business.
"I have been shown 44 cashier's checks issued by the Pinkert State Bank of Cicero and made payable to J. C. Dunbar, A.C.Dunbar, I. C. Dunbar and J. C. Chick. These checks represent the profits from the gambling houses operated by the syndicate during the period I was employed as cashier by the syndicate. All of these cashier's checks were purchased with surplus cash which I had accumulated from the operation of the business and represented the profits from the various gambling houses where I was employed. I turned these checks over to the Collector, Bobbie Barton, who represented the owners of the syndicate and I do not know what disposition he made of them. These checks represent the profits of the gambling houses and do not represent any personal profits of myself. My purpose in handing the check to Bobbie was because I knew he represented the persons who owned the gambling houses where I was employed as cashier. The cashier's checks referred to in this affidavit were issued by the Pinkert State Bank and I am informed that their records indicated that they were purchased by J. C. Dunbar. J. C. Dunbar was an assumed name used by me at the Pinkert Bank to handle the business
