He said he made frequent vis- its to San Leandro and remained there at times for a week. In cross examination he said he had gone to visit Alexander Dunsmuir at his office at different times and before he started to work for R. Dunsmuir & Co. Alexander Dunsmuir had told the witness not to speak to him at the office for fear ‘the other clerks would think he was too familiar. While engaged as bellboy at the Grand Hotel he had carried on an average of one to three cocktails each day to Alexander Dunsmuir's apart- ments. Dunsmuir’s habit was to get buttermilk and oysters in the evening and witness never ‘saw any liquor other than a bottle of ale. The witness had first entered Duns- muir's employ as an errand boy.
