Marlin and w. II. Cornwell,
and / think Mr. Fowler were
out on the commons that day.
Mr.. Spreckels and Mr. Mscfarlane
and Cornwell looked over the com
mons, they drove around to look
over it and talked about the divi-
sion. We met Mr. Spreckels and
then we went down towards Maalaea
Bay over near that pond and then
We drove around and looked at the
land We kept in the center OF the
commons, on the Haleakala side OF
the sandhills. think we saw lit
tie land on the Waikapu Common
little up north, that is adjoining the
line of the Waikapu common. 1t
was over the line / think | am not
positive. don't think any Of it was
fenced on the Waikapu side at that
time, l don't think the fencing had
got down as far as that, | don't re-
member exactly about that. They
talked over the question Of division
amongst themselves, Mr.. Spreckels
and the other two gentlemen, and
wanted to know how they could di-
vide it, were looking at 1T in differ
ent ways, comparing the two sides.
OF course | had nothing to do with
that, l was there as surveyor aud
when they had settled that mat
ter | would go ahead and survey
il for them. | did not pay any atten-
ton to the conversation at all. They
did not come to any conclusion out
on the common. They did not give
me any orders, 80 Of course they did
not come to any conclusion. l ma
turaily would have known if they
had come to a conclusion.
Q. When you left the commons to
go back again, was anything said
then A. Well, | understood them
to say that they should go to kabu-
Iui and have some lunch, and sit
down and have n map and look 1t
over and try to agree on something.
/ understood Mr.. Spreckels to say
that, bat it was sort Of mutual
amongst them. We went to Kahuln!
and had lunch there. | was In and
ont, and heard Cornwell talking
about it E; they were sitting In room
in the upper store playing cards. L
don't know whether they went over
any map or not l did not see them.
| We left there in the morning. MIR.
| Spreckels went to Spreckelsville, and
we went to Waikapu, and we left
there about or 5 o'clock in the
morning. Twas remaining until l got
some orders about this l was to re-
main there until the thing was set
tied. was not engaged in game OF
poker. [ an not positive whether Dir
Macfarlane was playing or not l
know he was suffering with head
ache, and | don't know whether he
was playing or not, l am not positive
Of that | know Mr. Spreckels was
and Mr.. Cornwell, and / don't know
who else think Mr.. Fowler was
playing. I had no special request tc
wait there from anybody L just
waited there as the party was there
laid down on the bed there once OF
twice and had q nap. Mr.. Macfar
lane was lying down on the bed witt
me for while. Nothing was sale
between us to whether a settlement
had been arrived at [ knew tina
there had not, because they
would have told me if there
had been. There was nothing accom-
plished before [ went away that
know of. From there [ went to Wal
kapu, and then took the steamer a
the end of the week and came HON
and had nothing further u &c ! witt
the matter. I think my bill was pai'
by all OF them. I had o map Their
on the ground; it was made by NJ
in May in 1882, and we were in ther
in July.
No cross examination.
