Q-How was you to be benefited or paid for the
use Of 50 much money, which you SO loaned with
out security?
A.-when l first loaned him, loaned to him as
friend, through friendship and nothing else: ex-
pected that he would fulfil his agreement, that

loaning operations?
A.-Mr. Hawkins promised me, after he (Haw-

two he would give me some interest in the business,
by which / could make a fortune too it being
pretty hard to make it in the jobbing business;
expected no particular amount; all expected to
get was what Hawkins thought proper.
Q.-What business was Mr.. Hawkins to use the
money which he borrowed of you individually!
Ale never informed me- neither would he, on
the first portions of the 5000, on account of the
fear he had of other persons going into the business
and the necessity Of secrecy, that he had the
rites always in his pocket, in the safe, and the
cumstances and that, too to double and treble the
amount he owed before loaned him the last 5000,
and It might have been previous to portion Of the
$1,000 loaned he stated to me that he had to do with
the purchasing of heavy amounts of gold dust, and
that he must have the money just as the steamers
came in.
