ZANE: How much rent do you pay?
ELLIS: Naw I pay $464.00.
ZANE: $464. And do you pay your rent directly ta Mr.
Anderson?
ELLIS: No. ~ pay Fourth Street Associates.
ZANE: And how long have yau paid Fourth Stree~
Associates?
ELLIS: Well, Eric wrote me a bunch checks out before he
left. And so I had all af those checks and then
the rent went up and he was in Oreg4n ~iving in
hut sort of an organic farm, so I had to write
the extra $14. And he ask me to put the phone
bil]. in my name and the t~as bilZ in ~y name. He
doesn't really--he was only kaeping the apartment
for me.
ZANE: dkay, thanks.
KArZ: Mr. Zane asked my questions. Thank you.
GENSER: Let me just follow-up then on one question Mr.
Zane asked you because we have... When did you
begin paying--not using Mr. Anderson's checks?
ELLIS: I'm not positiv~ but I think about the beginning
of the year. Eric gave me checks far a year.
GEh'SER: Of this year?
ELLIS: The beginning of this year I paid the full rent.
GENSER: 5o at the time of the application which was...
July which was... just abaut exactly a year ago,
July l, 1991, at that time yau were paying with
Mr. Anderson's checks?
ELLIS: Eric's checks.
GEI3SER: Thank you. We seem to be bouncing off of each
other. Mr. ~ane.
ZANE: I had one other question here. The document we
have before us your name and Mr. Anderson's are
both listed and it says agree to the conversian.
Who actv~lly signed the document?
ELLIS: I signed the documant that was gi~en to me which
I didn't knaw what it was. Then they tnld me
that--I signed it.
ZANE: And at that time you believed yau were signing on
behalf of Mr...
ELLIS: For Eric.
ZANE: Mr. Anderson.
ELLIS: Right. They said--Michele presented it as to get
this paperwork about the can~ers~on yau need to
sign this Yine.

pay~ng the rent? Money yau earned?
ELLIS: Sir...
HoLBROOK: You were sending your money to someone else to
write checks that yo~ could turn in because you
didn't want the owners to know that he had
sub-let to you.
ELLIS: Na. It is not that we didn't want the owners to
know. Michele knew that I was there and it was
nat that I was hiding anything. Eric felt he
wasn't sure how long he was going ta be gone sa
he felt just so... sort af ta keep it in his
name. He had haa other sub-letters before. The
management knew abaut them and I guess maybe he
was thinking he'd ~ike ta hald on to it in case
he decided to come back. But he didn't want
there to be any misunderstanding.
HOLBROOK: But you gave him the money ta cover those chacks.
Is that right?
