caused his books to be examined for
nearly four years back and found that
there were no transactions between
himself and the Equitable Society
other than one loan, which loan was
paid OFF more than year ago because
he was not willing to pay the rate of
interest required by the society. AS to
the companies in which. he Is interest
ed. Mr.. Hartman. said that he had no
recollection. nor did he believe that
there was any financial transaction be-
tween the society and those companies.
either directly or indirectly, nor had
any sale of securities been made by
any of those companies because Of the
possibility Of the Equitable Society
becoming interested therein.
Mr.. Hartman further said that
many of the bonds now held by the
Equitable were evidently purchased
through other parties in the open mar
ket. and probably before he had any
interest in the Union Pacific or Central
Pacific and allied lines AS to the pur-
chases from Kuhn. Loeb & Co. of GER
