with, regard to the arrangments made with Mr.
Callari?
A. Well, we had spoken to – I had spoken to Mr.
Reid in regard to what Mr. Callari was to receive,
which was a percentage based on the overall order,
and at this time the order was approximately – initially it was forty-some-thousand dollars, which was
to be regulated on the basis of how much spraying was
to be done and that Mr. Callari was to receive a percentage of this. And at this time I explained to Mr.
Reid that whatever was to be done with Mr. Callari,
that he was expecting to be taken care of as these
checks cleared.
Q.So did a check clear?
A. Yes, sir.
Q.How did you know this?
A. Because I went in and sat down with Mr. Reid
and we discussed the disbursement of the funds of
what had come in, and I had some incurred expenses
and I was given a small commission and I was to give
the balance of this check to Mr. Callari, which was
$9,000.
