District Attorney Val Nolan today asked prison terms of 15 years each for three southern Indiana bankers who pleaded guilty in Federal Court to violating Federal banking laws.

Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell |

Was to pass sentence after hearing character witnesses in behalf of the defendants, Lynn Craig, 317, indicted on 30 counts; Roland H. Weir, 57, indicted on 17 counts, and Raymond E. Korte, 39, indicted on 10 counts. Charges include embezzlement, misapplication of bank funds, false entries and conspiracy. Indicted with them were Lee O. Smith and Walter B. McCammon, who have pleaded not guilty. . The District Attorney informed the Court that the charge on which the three have been at liberty under bond involves alleged embezzlement from 11 banks of $166,653.47 between August, 1935, and November, 1936.

Charges $834,000 Embezzled

He told Judge Baltzell, however, that embezzlement over a period of Years totaled $834,266. Mr. Nolan told the Court there was little or no difference in the culpability of the men, regardless of the number of counts against them. : “This is the most extensive, deliberate and ruthless fraud that has been presented in this Court in the last four years,” the District Attorney -said. "He charged that in the operation of the Citizens Security Co. at New Albany, stock was sold to individuals. for a total of $27.660.09 and that they bought none themselves, unless on worthless notes.

Craig Former Teacher

Mr. Nolan, citing the case of Craig, a former schoolteacher, said he had abused the trust and confi- | dence placed in him by: reason of his position in the community. He said: that on the day Craig was arrested he had served as a lay breacher at a New Albany Church. Besides the Citizens Security Co., financial institutions involved in the alleged frauds included the KorteSmith Motor Co,, New Albany; the Union State Bank, Crothersville; Citizens’ State Bank, Palmyra; the Scottsburg State Bank, Scottsburg.
