HIS DEBTS ('OVER INDIANA .J l, r "‘ ; - or r t ' JI VA ■ -JtSteCr^" l iqlwßifrWfrr-' l ' J' 7 * I • w11 Gov. Warren T. McCray of Indiana, whose affairs are betyg investigated, by the Indianapolis grand jury. ■ * INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.—The financial affairs of Gov. Wnrren I. Met of Indiana are fast rushing to a din ax -with twenty .civil suits startup, against him. the local grand jury conducting an investigation, and an appeal made to the federal bank examiner for action. ■ So widespread have been Gov. McCray’s borrowings that there fife saw Ito be notes of his or his indorsement in 207 banks In fifty-four counties oh Indiana and in Chicago and run into a total of between $-,000,000 and, governor, farmer and stock raiser by profession, has given the im-i loression tt/t all his trouble is due principally, if rot <olely. to the depres-, I sion in prices of farm lands and products. The great majority of Indiana> residents apparently believe that story. Bui forpier Gov Janies P. Goodrich, who raised a sudo,ooo rescue fund, for McCray, says over his own signature: I •Charges have been made by men thoroughly tamiliar with Ins aftar,, 'and highly responsible in every way that Gov. McCray has been guilty of; actions involving the most serious consequences.” One of the governor's most ardent-supporters, John Moorman of Knox,' , Indiana, recogn’zed the existance of these charges. The basis of these characterizations is largely found in the following, I charges relating to one or more banks, for each of which the governor has an explanation: . . . „ , ■ 1. Gov. McCray sold a note on a statement of assets and liabiM.es. which misrepresented his financial condition. ■ i -2. Sold a note made payable to Warren T. MCCray. signed by one of, bis and indorsed by tlui governor. -Signed tlief imtm’*of a farm manager or farm hand to a note made ■’. ide.to h'.n ft and then sold jt to a bank. Siantd the name of a firm and njaaager thereof to a note made payable to himself and then sold it to a bank. 5. A state bank examiner recommended to a bank the purchase of a McCray note. i , I In general the governor has said that these charges are “political black-’ mail' and that he has committed no offtniSb against the law. More specific-1 ally, the governor hgs admitted to friends and to certain creditors that b-ii j iias’siened he name of this firm or that man to a note made payable to 'himself . ; Gov. .MeC:’. claims he had the pew.-r of attorney to sign the nap.-. <i,i I II individuals which he has placed or. any note.. Regarding th. u. • oft names of firms the governor has ass-. ted.that he was a partner in every i i film and had a perfect r‘ght to sign the Sinn name and attach also the signa j
