FIREMAN's STORY OF FALSE

secured judgment.
Meanwhile Boyd was attempting {,
pay up all his bills and. incidentally,
Mrs. Boyd called on Treasurer Trent
to see If he could not help to arrange
with creditors in the matter OF gar.
nishment. Trent said that IL Boyd
would leave % per cent. of his month.
Iy pay with him, he would go around
TO the creditors and explain matters to
them. This he did and the creditors
agreed that II Boyd left 25 per cent.
with Trent for the settlement of these
old accounts, they would not garnl.

A little later ]. A. McCandless col.
lected about $3.50 among his friends
and handed II to Trent, who paid off
all of Boyd's debts.
Boyd had handed Trent list of his
creditors and this list contained an
item of s43 due f. G. Ferreira. Trent
says he asked Ferreira If this was cor.
rect. He says Ferreira replied that
1t was except that there were about 81
to be added for water rates he had paid
for Boyd.
Trent explained that under the cir
cumstances, creditors were discount
ing their bills and asked that Ferreira
accept the s43 in full of everything
that Boyd owed him. To this Ferreira,
says Trent agreed, signing a receipt
for s43, Sin full of amount to date (Sep

|. o. us"
Boyd was then square with the
world
Boyd had entered into arrangements
with Ferreira to buy house and lot
in the kapahulu tract for $1,000, pay
ing 500 per month. Boyd thought this
was better than paying rent. Carfare
amounted to something. however, and
besides, Boyd had to be near the fire
station, so he finally ceased payments
on the house and lot and moved into
town. Boyd declares that Ferreira was
very angry with him for this and threa'
tened to get even.
Now Ferreira seeks to collect on the
judgment on the $500 note for which
Boyd got no consideration, the signing
of which he now admits was foolish
piece of business.
County Auditor Bicknep recently
drew Treasurer Trent's attention to
the fact that Boyd was garnished on
the $500 note. Bicknell thought this
odd. for he had learned that Trent
had paid up all Boyd's debts.
Boyd, having foolishly entered into
the scheme of signing the $500 note,
that he might avoid the rush of cred
itors and save his face with the Coun'
ty administration, and Ferreira hav.
ing secured judgment and now garni'
sheeing, Boyd has no remedy in the
courts, so to avoid paying $500 which
he says he does not owe. Boyd is
advised by those who have been his
financial friends to go into bankruptcy.
Mr.. Z. G.. Ferreira was seen and ask
ed for a statement in the case. He re-
TERED the reporter to his attorney
fudge A. S. Humphreys, who said:
"All | know about the matter Is that
| was employed by Mr.. Ferreira ia
bring suit against Mr.. Boyd on a judg
ment rendered by the District Cour,
of Honolulu last November for the
sum of $500, in favor of the formeI
and against the latter.
81 have made no inquiry as to thu
consideration for the judgment, re
garding that as immaterial, more es
pecially as Boyd has made payment
on account OF the same.
"If Boyds statement that the recov
cry Of this judgment was part of
scneme concocted by Ferreira and him
self to defraud his (Boyd's) creditors
Ne true, he ought to be ashamed tc
proclaim 1t, and his unworthiness tC
