M’CRAY GOES KOI KNOW DEBT SUM (Continued From Page 1) to nJies because he was a partner in the company. Time S,ent on Farm Occupation—He spent more than twenty days a year on his farm. Be fore he was Governor he visited the farms every day. He has devoted most of his time to his duties as Governor. Before he was Governor he maintained an office in the Discount and Deposit Bank at Kentland and spent most of his time there. He in sisted he is a farmer and as such is not subject to involuntary bankruptcy When he appears in court Tuesday the Governor must bring with him a list of his assets and liabilities and particularly a list of his outstanding indebtedness. He admitted on the stand he kept no record of bills pay able and did not know exactly what Jie owed He said he would do the best he could with the statements. Attorneys for the banks late Friday took up the financial statement made by the Governor Jan. 1. It showed resources of $2,179,772.32 and liabilities of $386,674.10. leaving a bal ance of $1,793,098.22. “Was this an accurate statement of your condition Jan. 1. 1923?” Attorney W. J. Vesey asked. “It was approximately correct.” McCray said. "It might be possible I did not get the liabilities quite hign enough.” Later McCray said it was a mistake to consider $386,674.10 as his total liabilities. Equities Only Listed “1 only showed one side of the ledger,” he said. “The explanation is very apparent if you study the state ment. I just put down the equities. ' The Governor said he overlooked listing about 1.200 acres in Newton County. “I just discovered they are not here,” he said. Vesey at this point asked for a statement by Tuesday morning of the Governor’s actual financial condition Jan. 1. There was some dispute as to the amounts McCray owes the Ft. Wayne banks. “You ought to kn#w, you have the notes.” the Governor said to B. F. Heaton, one of the attorneys. “No, the Governor has the original notes and we have some substituted for them.” “Aren’t the amounts and the names the same?” the Governor asked. Signatures Differ “Yes,” said Heaton, “the amounts and the names are the same, but the signatures are not.” The attorneys again got around to his assets and liabilities. “Am I to understand you cannot give an accurate statement of your liabilities"*' Sheridan asked. ‘I cannot,” McCray said. “In that case, how do you figure 75 per cent of your creditors?” Sheridan asked. “With all the advertising 1 have received, all the creditors should have been hoard from,” McCray said. Vesey suddenly asked McCray if he dealt tn grain through the defunct Sawers Grain Company of Chicago, which crashed after McCray’s failure. “Individually, no.” .McCray said, “Did you buy and sell on margin?” “No, sir.” “Did you sustain any losses through the Sawers Grain Company except through notes you bought?” „ "No, sir.” Rotary Business Program A special better business program will be given at the Rotary Club meeting Tuesday.
