fully what been said about meeting
and conversation with Nowlein on
Waikiki road; am positive nothing
said there of any nature except In re-
Iation to possibility of search be-

for arms; been friendly with Davies
and acted as attorney for him previ-
Gus to time he talked with me; had
three claims to collect against Wal

whom was Hugh Robinson, for hav-

to settle claim of Robinson soon as
could do so; Davies was in my office

much attention to matters this sort,
didn't think anything in it; at least
no white man would go into 1t; Davies
said thought something in rumor;
told him IL movement was confined to
natives it would fail, and advised him
to keep out of 1t; Davies replied he
been sounded regarding matter; Da-

necessary and could accomplish under |
taking with clubs; he made many sug- |
gestions concerning possibilities in |

phone offices taken to prevent alarm
