By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. June 1.-THE dis
trict attorney's Office todaY was investi-
eating an alleged loss Of $542l9.o9l to
the Ticl;1cld Oil Co. Of California and
the Eichfie!d Co.. its holding concern,
through asserted irregularities by their
officers.
Deputy District Attorney Bonner Rich
ardson said the matter would be pre-
sented to the grand jury II evidence of
culpabiity was found Both COM
panies are In receivership.
A report on the asserted losses,
charging "actS which appear to conSti-
tute violations Of the corporate securities
act and other penal laws" was sub
mitted to the prosecutors Office yeSter
day by State Corporation Commissioner
Raymond l.. Haight.
-Four officials Accused.
In addition to violations of the seCuri-
| ties act. Haight specifically accused four
| former Richfeld officials. c. NJ. Fuller,
| J. A. Talbot, r. w. Mckee "snd A M
| Kelley. of unauthorized Withdrawals
| from the company, largely for personal
use.
Such charges, If Substantiated. would
be in effect charges of grand theft"
Richardson declared.
Mckee and Kelley last night issued
statements saying they had arranged
TO pay off their debit balances. Mckee'S
debit balance as of January IA, 1881.
was given as $l19,89l26, and Kelley
was said on that date to owe S84 $40 81.
Mckee was assistant to Talbot chair
man Of the board, and Kelley was a
/ Vice president.
Technical Violations Possible.
ut is possible there were some tech
nical violations of the law" Mckee
said. but this cannot be considered
amazing in company as big as Rich
field.
L have offered to turn over all my
assets for the benefit OF all my credi-
| tors, including Richfield"
Kelley declared, II have made sub
stantial payments on my account as
arranged with the receiver and direct
ors in charge of collections of en-
ployeS' accounts"
Both, in answer to Haights charge
, that Withdrawals are partially offset by
exceedingly large expense account
claims. most OF which are unsupported
by vouchers or other explanatory mat
ter, defended their expenses as not eX-
orbltant.
Haights report said the debit bal
snce of Fuller. former president of the
oil company was 1927 900 So January
IA, 1881, and that the debit account
OF Talbot, former chairman of the
board, was sl42 68S.59 on that date.
Charges Stock Violations.
The $54,2l9O9l operating loss is said
by Halght TO have occurred in the
three years prior to January !, 1881.
Chief charges made by the corpora
ton commissioner were that stock was
issued and sCld in violation Of the
| terms of permits; that records were
apparently falsifled' by the insertion
of statements admitted TO be incorrect,
and that Fuller Talbot and Mckee
used withdrawal for personal matters
From representatives of William C.
McDuffie. receicer in equity. came a
statements that Haights charges
would not affect the operation and
activities Of the company nor the re-
organization plans Of the receiver.
