MISSING EXECUTIVES
BOOKS UNDER PROBE

BINGHAMTON, N. Y, Oct. O.
R)-The books of the Mobxinco Brok-
erage company insurance underwriters
here Of which Fred G. Beale, miss
ing since last Friday, is president
and general manager. are under
scrutiny. Beale is facing indictment
as a grave robber, the evidence be-
ing that he sought by a funeral to
give the impression that he himself
was dead.
Robert s. Parsons. treasurer of the
company says that the accounts were
in a serious condition. An account
ant has been called to audit the
books.
State troopers are checking up
persons from whom Beale is believed
to have collected money last week,
just prior to the time his automobile
was found, burned and wrecked near
Hancock. Concealed underneath it
was n charred body, at first believed
to be Bcale but later identified as
James II. Davis of Hancock. The
body had been taken from a cemetery
nearby.
From Miami, Fla, came word that
Mrs. Dorothy Bolger, Beale's former
stenographer and her husband, Charles
Bolger. had voluntarily appeared at
police headquarters and had convinced
the authorities that she was not i'm
plicated in the affair.
Beale's family believes there are
some details which, when explained,
will clear his name. His father has
pledged himself to leave no stone I'M
turned to find his son.
