MW CREDITORS CONSIDER PUN OF TRUST AGREEMENT Two-Year Extension for Indebtedness Asked by Governor, Investigation of the plan proposed by Governor Warren T. McCray for turning over practically all his property to his creditors under a trust agreement was begun today by a committee of five named at a creditors' meeting at the Severin Thursday. Committee: Elmer E. Stout, Indianapolis, president of the Fletcher American National Bank; W. H. Arnold, president of the American Trust Company of Kokomo; Linton A. Cox, lawyer, of Indianapolis; F. H. Cutshall. vice president of the Old National Bank'of Ft. Wayne, and Charles Hubbard, president of the Citizens' National Bank of Martinsville. The committee will report its findings and recommendations next Friday. McCray Reads Statement The meeting was attended by about 159 representatives of creditor banks. Governor McCray read a brief statement and then retired to a room on the ninth flqor of the Severin, where he remained until the conclusion of the meeting. He plainly was affected by the strain he had been under. After he had gone to his room, he stated: “This was the most humiliating thing I ever have done: “It took more nerve to do what I have done than to take a gun and end it all.” The statement read by the Governor was substantially the same as the one given to the press Thursday except that he sugge.-rted an extension of his indebtedness for two years. By that time, he said, conditions in the agricultural industry would be greatly Improved. The Governor j stated that he owned more than 15,000 acres of land and a herd of high grade Hereford cattle 600 to 800 in number. He admitted that many of the outstanding obligations were indorsements of notes executed under the name of subsidiary ooncems. which in reality were his own paper. “Many of the notes bear the farm name and that resident manager and are indorsed by myself in order that the notes would be In better bankable form,” McCray explained. Creditors’ Committee Suggested He suggested appointment of a creditors’ committee to take over his property a trust agreement. “If this should not be In accord i with your best judgment, I know of j no other way open except one which ! I would seriously deplore to take— i
