Witness Tells Os Hobbs' Shortage FORT WAYNE. Ind. (UPI>Former Albion businessman Arnold G. Hobbs estimated last September that a shortage in funds of The Noble County Credit Union amounted to “approximately $800,000.” a witness told an Allen Circuit Court jury late Thursday. Fay E. Parr, rural Kendallville, who was assistant manager to Hobbs, testified that Hobbs estimated the shortage after a SKEPT. mated the shortage after September cials of the credit union which Hobbs headed for 10 years. Hobbs, 32. is on trial on one of 21 indictments charging embezzlement from the credit union. The trial went into its fourth day today. Parr told the jury about a conversation with his ex-boss as they rode back to Albion from a meeting at the Kendallville office of the late Porter Crowell, attorney for the credit union, when the shortage was revealed. Parr said ’'he asked Hobbs, “Why did you do such a thing?" “I don’t know,” Parr quoted j Hobbs as replying. Parr said he then asked Hobbs how large he thought the shortage might be and Hobbs answered, "Approximately $800,000.” Auditors who have been going over the credit union’s books have placed the shortage closer to two I million dollars. ■ Cary A. Davis, Albion postmaster for 25 years and a charter (member of the credit union, also took the stand and told about the meeting in Crowell's office when Hobbs was confronted by evidence of shortages. He testified that he never knew any of the funds had been loaned by Hobbs to his various business enterprises despite the fact that he, Davis, was chairman of the credit committee Hobbs is being tried specifically on a charge he embezzled a $1,600 check whih the state claims he deposited to t u e account of the Kimmell Ready-Mix Corp. in which he had an interest.

THE DECATOR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Answer Issued By Dawaid On Account Earl Dawaid, Geneva justice of the peace, issued a lengthy rebuttal to a recent Indianapolis press release attributed to the state board of accounts alleging shortages in his acounts. Dawaid's statemant took issue with the release saying, “There is absolutely no shortage pf funds in my office. Neither is there any evidence of funds or falsification of records. A signed statement by a bank official was submitted to an examiner at the time of the examination last winter and it showed that the court accounted for a sum of $1,366.25 compared to payouts and liabilities of $1,262.75, leaving a balance of over SIOO currently because I have never drawn out all the fees to which I am entitled.” He goes on to say that he feels the attack against him stems from his acive part in trying to save the Indiana state dunes for a national park. He adds that his interest in the Dunes park will not dwindle by these alleged attempts from Indianapolis to discredit him on a state-wide basis. “Instead,” he said. “I will work harder than ever to save the Dunes for God who cretated them and the people who are rightly entitled to enjoy them.” The press release stated: “An Indiana state board of accounts report certifying irregularities in the records of Wabash township justice of the peace Earl Dawaid has been sent to the Adams county officials "for possible grand jury action. "The report, which covered a period from Jan. 1, 1955, to June 30, 1958. revealed that Dawaid, Geneva, failed to account for $1,262 to township, county, and state officials. Dawaid made settlement last February. "In a letter to Dawaid, the board cited the ‘improper manner in { which your records were maintained and the absence of forms pre- ( scribed by this department.’ The' board ‘strongly urged’ Dawaid to follow standard accounting procedures set up by the state. “Although Dawaid made settlement, the report was sent to ! Adams county prosecutor Severin H. Schurger at Decatur, because, the greater part of the settlement extended back for a period bortJering on four years.”

(UPD — A Navy jet pilot miscalculated a landing aboard the attack carrier USS Essex Thursday and brought flaming death at sea to 2 men, injuring 21 others. The plane raked the starboard side of the carrier, spewing flames over the parked planes on the flight deck. The pilot of the FJ-Fury jet, Lt. James C. Steele of Harrodsburg, Ky., was killed. Airman Charles E. Porter of Jacksonvile burned to death as flames swept along the side of the vessel. Steele's plane cartwheeled into the ocean. The crash occurred about 200 miles east of here in the Atlantic Thursday morning. Full details were not released until several hours later. A spokesman at the naval base here said there probably would be no more information until the Essex returns to Mayport, Fla., Saturday.
