Davis, who said he had had
mo inkling that Raymond was
short until 5 Monday after"
noon, when Raymond resigned,
came to indianapolis this morn
ing to confer with Orr about
the proper procedure.
Orr advised Davis to hasten back
to Muncie and file an affidavit
charging embeZzlement against
Raymond. This charge, Orr pointed
out, would be sufficient upon which
to hold Raymond under bond until
state accountants completed a re-
port upon condition of Haymonds
books. This will take about a week.
When the report is finished it will
be certified to Attorney General Ar
thur L. Gilliom. The attorney gen.
eral will direct action by the Muncie
prosecutor upon any charges the re-
port indicates should be filed.
Davis started back to Muncie
without stating exactly what his
emergency action will be.
Raymond, 60, former bank official,
who has been known as a safe and
sane" business and community
leader, is under doctors care to-
day, broken man.
Haymonds resignation as treas
urer was accepted at meeting of
the city council Monday night. In
the meantime, state board of ac-
counts examiners are continuing ex-
animation of the school citys f1nan-
cial records in an effort to trace
disposition of missing funds.
Examiner Refuses Details
Orr 1efuseS to make public any
thing concerning the case, saying:
"Our report has not been filed as
yet and the examination has not
been completed. Consequently we
can not make anything public on
our part regarding any shortage
that might exist"
Details of the case were an
nounced in statement by William
F. White, school board president.
In part, Whites statement follows:
"On Tuesday, Oct. 16, Mr.. George
L. Raymond, treasurer of the school
board. called at my Office about 4:30
O'Clock and told me that he was
in trouble with his school accounts
and that he wanted to give me the
information before got it from
some other source"
Made Loans to Friends
So far it has been revealed that
Raymond loaned about $4,000 to
friends and was unable to enforce
payment against them. But Sal, 900
of the misappropriated funds are
still unaccounted for.
Raymond until Jan. IA, last, was
vice president of the Peoples
Trust Company bank. He had
served as treasurer Of various funds
and as administrator Of several
estates; was Delaware county treas
urer one term and an assistant
postmaster.
White announces that he believes
the city will not suffer any loss, as
Raymond was under a $4,000 sure
ty bond provided by the National
Surety Company. The school board,
according to White, is already ne
gotiating with the company in re-
gard to a settlement.
Revelation of the shortage has
shocked Muncie citizens who point
out that it follows considerable un-
favorable publicity given the city.
Immediately after accepting Hay
mond's resignation, the city coun-
Gil appointed j. Lloyd Kimbrough,
