In regard to another boat, he sug
gested the 494 -M, which bolongcd, to
a dope runner. Hubbard said Whit
ney, when told of the mttttor, said
go ahoad but not to get his name
mixed up in It. The title of the
494 -M was. .changed from Hubbard's
to Whitney's name, the witness said,
when Hubbard became Involved In
litigation.-
only one load 01 liquor was hauled
at that time by the Olmsted ring in
the 494-M because it was too slow
for their work. Hubbard said he built
another hull, the 887-M, which he
sold to Olmsted and equipped with
the onglne of the 494-M, Hubbard
said he then obtained a new onglne
for the 494-M and used It partly for
prohibition work and partly for the
Olmsted ring. -
Olmsted tnen hauled three or four
loads of liquor in the 404-M at In

a prohibition scout boat, Hubbara
