Used Car Dealer Is Freed Under Bond Seeks Two Million To Pay Off Debts Jerseyville. 111., Oct 7—(UP>— Arthur F. Kramer set out today to dig up 82,387.045 tn cash and "new used cars" to pay off more than 1,300 people who gave him down payments on automobiles. Kramer was freed on 15.000 bond after he turned himself in last night to Justice of the peace Arthur Thatcher. Kramer’s associate, owed car dealer Robert L. Knetser of Edwardsville, 111., was missing, howeor. K earner claimed that K net tar owed him 82.533.000 as a result of intricate deals in which the two men mushroomed their business to phenomenal proportions by promising to deliver “new used cars" at the standard price of 81.740. Involuntary bankruptcy petitions were filed yesterday against the two men by purchasers who said they failed to deliver the promised cars and did not return their down payments. Kramer was charged with fraud in a warrant obtained by Freeman Rogers. Alton. 111., who said the used car dealer promised to deliver a two-door Chevrolet within 60 days. Rogers said he did not get the car nor a refund. When he appeared before Thatcher last night. Kramer promised to repay all his creditors within three weeks or give them the cars he had sold them On that pledge. Thatcher set Kramer's preliminary hearing for Oct. 29. Kramer also entered a plea of voluntary bankruptcy at Springfield. 111., in which he listed his assets at 82.833.000, But, he said, all but 833.000 of It was owed to him by Knetser, His debts totaled the 82.387.063 he had accepted as down payments on cars at the Alfalfa field he used as a "showroom” near here. It was at the Alfalfa field where Kramer became famous throughout southern Illinois for the low-price —81.740, no more or less—at which he offered cars. He refused to tell how he could buy cars at 12.500 and sell them for the standard price although he had been visited by reporters from as far away as Chicago. He received orders on c ars from all over the country and even delivered one for i Brasilian army officer. .Many customers of Kramer and Knetzer continued to besiege the ■fate's attorney's office here and at Edwardsille to seek advice on how they could get their money back. The involuntary bankruptcy suit against Knetzer was filed at Springfield by three men who -harged that 9o days bad passed since he accepted money from them btt failed to deliver their cars. They claimed that he accepted H.ooo deposits on more than 100 automobile*. Federal Judge Le Roy Adair named William C. Dunham of Collinsville as receiver. A petition filed by Hugh Cross. Jerseyville attorney and lieutenant governor of Illinois, named Kramer is involuntarily bankrupt There were more than 1,300 names on the letition. Despite Ids trouble* today, Kremer was still keeping silent ibont the source of the many cars be delivered before his bubble burst. "That’s a 85.900.000 secret.” ho ■aid.
