Jones was president of the asso- ciation. The association had been ailing from tax legislation against its mortgages, and so Hawkins came along. Hawkins gave a note for $911,000, due in one year, secured by Hawkins stock, for which the board of directors of the associa- ‘ion handed over to him $455,650 in treasury stock. This lacked $55,000 of being con- trol, but the Hawkins high-pressure salesmen within a few months suc- ceeded in trading association stock- holders out of eneugh stock, in ex- change for Hawkins shares, to give Hawkins control. Then an extraor- dinary transaction took place. Hawkins elected his own trustees, whose first act was to cancel the $911,000 note.
