Mancovitz testified he found money in the Watchmaker home attic and kept it, saying the receiver’s duty lay with the property. He admitted missing 600 dollars after entrusting funds to Mrs Watchmaker and her sister Annie Yaffe, defended by saying creditors and counsel fees justified not turning over the cash. He described prior disclosures to the grand jury and argued it was unsafe to reveal the money to creditors or the receiver amid ongoing settlements. He testified about amounts found, payments to counsel, and reasons for delaying reporting the funds, with the defense set to resume Tuesday.
