TRIO IS FINED IN HOLC FRAUD Falsified Applications, Is Charge; Banker Gets Prison Term. In the first prosecution in this district on charges of falsifying statements in connection with Home Owners' Loan Corporation applications, three Linton men today were fined sums ranging from $50 to $500 by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell. The three were Myro B. Mitchell, secretary of the Home Loan & Savings Association, Linton, fined $500; Squire Walters, $250, and Lawrence Blevens, $50. At the same session of court, Claude F. Kitterman, president of the defunct First National Bank & Trust Co., Cambridge City, was sentenced to serve one year and one day on charges of misapplication of that institution's funds. The Government charged that Kitterman forged a $4,300 note Nov. 5, 1932, on an estate which the bank was administering. Paul Kamke, Ft. Recovery, O., formerly an auto dealer at Roanoke, Ind., was put on probation for two years after Judge Baltzell first had sentenced him to serve one year and a day in the Federal Reformatory at Chillicothe, O. Kamke was charged with using the mails to defraud the Universal Credit Co. in the sale of automobiles. Archie G. Everett, 846 N. Gray-st, a former National Guard captain, was sentenced to serve 60 days in the Marion County Jail on a forgery charge. He was accused of having forged a Government check.
