Treasury note matter, he said
he also attended a meeting OF
Nationwide Savings and Loan
Association in an attempt to
find a savings and loan firm
for the Eastern Shore.
Financing Obtained
The next matter discussed
was the A. I. Cassell develop
ment in Southern Maryland.
He said he worked out. an ar
rangement to get Mr.. Cassell
addition financing in order to
lift a court order stopping any
sale in his subdivision.
Mr.. Johnson said one of the
builders had put the lien on
Mr.. Cassell because he had
not bee paid $4,000.
His meetings with Mr.. Boy
kin, he said, began in early
January, 1861, when Mr.. Boy
kin described to him the prob
lens he was having in financ-
ing a developer on a tract of
5000 acres in Charles County.
Federal Court Judge Roszel
C. Thomson recessed the court
until Wednesday because Mr..

detailed work he had done on
the purchase of a 100000
treasury note, on the mort
cages for a Southern Maryland

transaction between Represen-
tative Boykin and Edlin.
He said he attended two
meetings concerning the Treas
ury note, which was bought by
Edlin for $4,000 from a Ben
jamin H. Dranow. Later, a
New York broker reported the
note had been stolen from him.
Mr.. johnson claimed he did

over loan agreements and
mortgages that he was sup
posed to review for them.
Mr.. johnson, Edlin, Mr..
Robinson and former Alabama
Representative Frank w. Boy
kin are charged with forming
a conspiracy to pressure the
Justice Department into drop
ping a mail fraud charge
against Edlin.
Mr.. Johnson, who has con-
tended he was retained by
Edlin for bona fide legal work,
said he Immediately disagreed
with a proposed loan agree
ment for $798,000 to the En-
cheering & Development Corp.
Of Maryland.
Loan for Prince Georges
He testified that the loan
was for a development for 161
acres in Prince Georges
County.
Part of the agreement, he
said, included 100000 TO be
reserved by the lending firm
for future installments for
sewers, roads, and streets.
He said this meant such
"tlght control by the lending
institution that it practically
had the ultimate say on the
disposition of the funds"
He said ne would not pass on
the disposition of these funds.
Disturbed by Agreement
Secondly, he testified that he
was disturbed about the fact
that q loan agreement was not
included in the mortgage. He
said quite a number of pro-
visions contained in the loan
agreement were not in the
mortgage"
He said Mr.. Robinson was
reluctant to file the loan agree
ment with the mortgage.
He also alleged that certain
provisions for a pledge agree
ment for 100 shares of stock
to Edlin's firm might conflict
with the usury laws.
Mr.. johnson also said he re-
viewed a separate application
for a loan on an apartment
project involving $2.3 million.
He said he prepared all the pa
uers and bylaws for a Mary
land corporation and gave
them to Mr.. Robinson presum-
ab'v to be executed" But he
said they were never filed by
Mr.. Robinson or anyone else.
Claim for Services
Mr.. johnson is attempting
to prove that payments of
nearly $4,000 from Edlin were
for services rendered and had
nothing to do with any con-
spiracy to pressure the Govern
ment.
But the prosecution claims
that $17,550 Of this total was
for using his influence with
the Justice Department.
Mr.. johnson testified that
he did not approved of the
apartment deal either because
of a confusing arrangement in
which the lending institution
had a right to back out of the
project when only little more
than half of the development
would be completed.
Il could never give my legal
approval to the loan." he said,
adding that the loan was never
made although the application
had been prepared.
