DR.. Carl r. Jackson. assistant
superintendent of Dewitt State
Hospital, said McCalmont told
him the blackmail story in a two
hour interview yesterday. Three
years ago, the minister said. a

Another woman, McCalmont
said, saw her come out and has
been extorting money from him
since.
Sheriff Ward. who arrested Nc
Calmont Thursday. did not think
the blackmail story completely ex-
planned the pastors motives. He
said McCalmont had debts and
was known to give money charit-
ably.
Sheriff Ward said a Roseville
woman deposited $4,000 of the
traced bills, explaining the min
lister gave the money to her to
repay a loan. He declined to name
her until this matter is cleared
up"
The sheriff said $4,000 had
been traced after the minister
