...nearly $2,000 in hotel tabs paid by Goldfine. Adams testified that "particularly when driving, it was an accommodation to me to stop overnight on a trip from my home [in Lincoln, N.H.] to Washington and vice versa. Mr. Goldfine on one occasion said to me, 'If there is any time when you would like to stay in a suite which I have in a hotel in Boston, I hope you will occupy it, because it is there, paid for, and I would be glad to have you enjoy the accommodations.'
