The only tangible security given in
the promises was the Keane Wonder

The complaint then states the
stock acquired by Wilson could have
been worth no more than $4,000 at
the most and the allowing of an over

amount was exceedingly hazardous:
also that the Keane Wonder Company
property was as yet undeveloped and
the allowing of that concern to go in
debt to the amount of over ST.

further. that the Homer Wilson com
