PROUD WANTED
IN. LARCENY
Of $4,000
Prosecution by Lumber Firm
Faced If Ex-EmpIoye Is
Brought to Maryland

Frank H. Proud, alleged to have
embezzled more than $4,000 from
Stembler & Ford, lumber mer-
chants of Capitol Heights, and
who jumped a $1,000 bond before
a preliminary hearing several
months ago, was believed today to
be somewhere in Texas. The fugi-
tive was once employed as book
keeper for the firm he allegedly
robbed.
1t was learned at Upper Mari.
boro that Sheriff w. Curtis Hop
kins had received a communica-
ton from Texas asking whether
a reward was still posted for
Proud's capture.
Reward Withdrawn
Elmer Pumphry, who supplied
bond for the man at the time Of
his arrest, once posted a reward,
but Hopkins said it had been
withdrawn,
Deputy Sheriff Tom Garrison,
once assigned to the case, de-
clared that warrants against
Proud had been withdrawn.
Sheriff Hopkins, however, denied
this, and said two warrants for
Proud'S arrest are in his desk.
Warrants Charge Larceny
Both warrants charge larceny
the sheriff declared. States At
torney Bowie likewise denied that
warrants against the accused
man had been withdrawn, and
said the man will be prosecuted
when caught.
A member of the lumber firm
also denied there was any inten-
ton of dropping the case against
Proud, and announced his desire
to have the man brought back.
1t is believed that Texas authori-
ties have a line on Proud, but
that he has not been arrested.
