Paul Simmons allegedly steals from Charles Doles

While the deponent [Doles] was “in company of defendant [Simmons]” in his St. Nicholas Avenue apartment, he opened a strong box – containing $102 – to pay a “taxicab chauffeur,” before closing it and putting it away. Later, the deponent was spoken to by the apartment superintendent, who “asked if he... had had any trouble, as he... observed deponent's friend running away from the house.” The deponent then checked the strongbox and found said money to be missing.
