cord, was free today on bond
after being arraigned on both
Federal and New York State

euilty-at present." the phras-
ing indicating he might be
hopeful of an eventual reduc-

States 12-count indictment. He
posted $4,000 bail on those
charges, which accuse him of
stealing his firms funds.
Earlier, the Ss-year-old for

Co. pleaded not guilty to Fed
eral charges that he stole the
hardwood flooring firms funds
for his own use. He was re-
leased in $4,000 bond on the
15-count Federal indictment.
Gilbert previously admitted to
newsmen in Rio de Janeiro that
he diverted $1,953, 900 from the
firm in an attempt to salvage
his plan to take over control of
the Celotex Corp. He said the
plan was dealt a death blow by
