That some time during the month
of April, Sheriff Iaukea requested me
to see IL I could borrow 500 from
one of my friends. I visited. several
friends, but none OF them had 800
| In cash, because on that particular
day Sheriff Iaukea spoke to me about
| 1t rather late in the afternoon. sec
ondly, the banks were all closed,
which prevented my friends from
drawing from the banks. could not
think of any other person having
available cash, so I went to 1sOi and
spoke to him about the loan, which
he favored me with right away. At
the time ] borrowed the money from
Isoi. I told him that he must not ex-
pect any return favor because. as
far as the loan was concerned, i,t Is
purely simple personal transact zion.
I asked Isoi how much interest he
wanted, Isoi replied that he was not
in the loan business and there fore
did not care for interest. I gave the
money to Sheriff Iaukea the same af-
lternoon, and received his DDte
which | gave to 1soi later on. At
the time the Sheriff wrote the mote
he asked me who the man was. |
simply told him that the person was
one of my friends. The note was
taken up when 1t became due and
the transaction ended.
