HOME LOAN FRAUD
LAID TO D. c. MAN
Contractor Accused of Col.
|ecting Fees on Money
for Repairs.

Thomas z. Petticord, A. contractor,
Carolina avenue southeast, has posted
$4,000 bond pending action of the Dis
trict grand jury on charge Of COL
lecting fees in obtaining loans from
the Home Owners Loan Corporation.
Petticord was arrested last night by
Detective Sergt. Earl P. Hartman at
the City Post Office after an investi-
CATION in which the district attorneys
Office, the Department of Justice and
the Home Owners Loan Corporation
participated
He is accused of soliciting and COL
lecting fees from two cOlored women
for obtaining small loans for them for
making repairs to their dwellings. The
complainants are Mary Chandler, 313l
paid Petticord s2S, and Sadie Page
1926 Swami street, who allegedly paid
$40 and said she promised second
payment of $40 The case will be
presented to the grand jury today by
Assistant United States Attorney
Charles B. Murray.
Petticord's arrest was described by
the legal department of the Home Own
ers' Loan Corporation, of which Horace
Russell is the chief, as the first made
in drive ordered some time ago by
John H. Fahey, chairman, to prosecute
all those who claim influence with the
H. o. L. c. or who solicit illegal fees
for handling loan applications.
Section (e) of the home loan bank
act provides for all proper fees, such
as the necessary payment for record
ing titles and for appraisals. The sec
tion prohibits any other fees. since
the legal department of the corporation
is prepared to represent any applicant
when it is necessary. The penalty for
violations is fixed at $4,000 fine and
five years in prison upon conviction.
At the district attorneys office 1t was
said Petticord admitted collecting fees
from the two women, but contende6
they were for other services and not
for obtaining loans. At Mr.. Russell's
Office it was asserted that he offered
to get the loans and then make the
necessary repairs to the houses.

ANALYSIS AWAITED
|N0FF|CER'S DEATH
Coroner Inclined to Theory
of Suicide-Evidence of
Drinking Reported.

Although admittedly inclined toward
a suicide theory. Coroner A. Magruder
Macdonald reiterated today that inves-
tigation of the shooting of Policeman
Harry L. Clapp would not be closed
until results of chemical analyses of
the dead officers blood and stomach
contents are known.
DR.. Macdonald ordered the analyses
yesterday. after an autopsy by Deputy
Coroner Christopher j. Murphy revealed
''unmistakable evidence" that Clapp had
been drinking. How much alcohol the
policeman had drunk. DR.. Murphy was
unable to say, however, and it was for
this reason that the analyses were de-
cided upon.
Wound Was Burned.
The post-mortem also disclosed that
the revolver with which Clapp was shot
was pressed against the side of his head
at the time The wound was burned"
DR.. Murphy declared, and there also
was quantity of powder inside"
Clapp, who was 80 and lived at 647
Kenyon street. was found dead about
am. yesterday in his eighth precinct
patrol car, which had crashed into a
tree on Indian lane, in the fashionable
Spring Valley section. After striking
the tree the automobile had careened
across the road. mounted the curb and
nosed into an embankment.
On Force Since 1924.
Among the angles being investigated
is one that Clapp, who is said to have
owned and rented out several houses.
nearly always carried large sums of
money with him. Detectives. working
under the direction of Capt. Bernard
w. Thompson, assistant chief of the
Detective Bureau. expressed doubt that
this had any bearing on the case, how
ever
Clapp. a native of North Carolina,
had been a member of the force since
1924 He is survived by his widow, Mrs
Mae Clapp,
