BERNE TEACHER STILL MISSING ll I I’edagog Who Left Indebtedness Behind Must Face Charge In Court Closing exercises at the Berne schools were held yesterday with Emory Chamuess, eighth grade teacher, still absent. Chamness left Berne last Sunday night, leaving unpaid bills. fraudulent checks, and other forms of indebtedness amounting to approximately SSOO. All efforts to locate Chamness have failed. When he is located. Chamness will be forced to face a charge of issuing a fraudulent check for 'slo. which he cashed at the Vance and Linn store in this city. The charge has been tiled tn the Adams circuit court. Others stand ready to file similar charges against the missing pedagog. it is said. Stories told to Berne residents by Chamness have been proven false, indicating that he did not have the best of character.. It has been proven with satisfaction that the man manufactured the story that he had been robbed of $260 last week. One of the teachers favorite hard luck stories was that his wife was seriously ill in the Reid Memorial hospital at Richmond, and that she . was forced to undergo an operation. With this hard luck story, he had created much sympathy which brought him financial aid. Sam Nussbaum of Berne, who visited the Chamness home in Richmond this week, states that Mrs. Chamness seems to be in good health, that she had not had an operation lately and that she is a robust woman, weighing about 16ft pounds. The “sob story of sickness" was all a hoax. Members of the Chamness family claim that they know nothing about the whereabouts of their father. However, they had not notified the police that he is missing. Mrs. Chamness explained to Mr. Nussbaum that hetsons who claimed to be painting contractors, had worked only about half a day during the past month. The three sons of Chamness who came here from Richmond on Tuesday have promised to return today in an effort to settlement. Nothing has however been seen of them today. The family claims to have mpved to Richmond from Indianapolis last summer. . WERE MARRIED I 50 YEARS AGO Dr. And Mrs, ,L S. Coverdale Observe Golden Wedding Anniversary Sunday Dr. and Mrs. J.
