relations of friendship he has held with
Mrs. knight and her child. He denies
actual interest in the Hamakua Ditch
Co., saying he only holds the office of
secretary and one share in it for the
convenience of John Hind and is ready

minor child was altogether due to the
advanced age and consequent infirmity
of Mr. Dowsett. The allegation of join
ing in a conspiracy to shut the minor

ing those lands when Carter assured
him he only sought to purchase them
for the benefit of the Parker Ranch.
