Mrs. Mary R. Redding and

110 West Tinsley street, Griffin,
announce the birth of a son on
Dec. 11 at the Griffin-Spalding
County Hospital.
Auditor explains
(Continued from page one)
Bank owns none of its stock.
Expense funds also were used toward
work on a Southern Bell Telephone shed
on South Eighth street, owned by
Parker and Mrs. Leila Bell; paid in
stallments and interest on a note of
Spalding Insurance and Realty Co. for
purchase of the company’s stock;
construction loans on six houses owned
by Chalet Corp.; payments on loans of
E. P. Pruett, A. D. Norton, Gene
Yoemans and Horace J. Long, Bruner
said.
A First National Bank note for $12,000
was paid out of expense money, along
with fees to Griffin Engineering Co. for
survey work on the Parker-Fortune
property and a line survey at Willis
Motor Court Property for Central Land
Corp., according to testimony.
Many deposits were made to
Parker’s personal account which came
from bank expense checks, the auditors
reported.
Money designated on checks for
keeping up bank premises went for
work at Parker’s farm home near
Pomona, the reports stated.
They included payments to Bolton
Landscaping Co. for grading and
building a road around a lake and
clearing land; to Tinsley Construction
Co. for work at the Parker farm; Banks
Construction Co. for building a lake and
drag line work at the farm; and to John
H. Nichols for a well at the farm, it was
disclosed.
It was stated that money from bank
expense checks also was deposited into
an account of Reid Childers for interest
on a certificate of time deposit.
Mr. Bruner said he found that Parker
used certain patterns in manipulating
the expense checks.
It’s a standard procedure for many
banks to close out their expense
accounts on a semi-annual basis, on
June 30 and Dec. 31, he explained.
It is normal to dump all expenses into
the account at the end of the year and
with so many, it is easy to put irregular
checks in then, he continued.
Another pattern used by Parker on
some checks, he said, was to round out
the figures to the nearest dollar.
Expenses seldom are in even dollars
and such checks always attract an
auditor’s suspicion, he said.
Many of the expenses were not
documented and had no approved in
voices, he added.
Mr. Bruner explained that a person
who is performing irregular transac
tions over a long period, usually
develops patterns using certain number
combinations.
He discovered combinations of seven
and 11 and their multiples in many
expense checks signed by Parker, he
said.
Mr. Bruner also explained how
money was manipulated through
reserve interest on time deposits.
In complicated transactions, Parker
obtained money to purchase land on the
Williamson road for which he paid

Albert Bunn and Preston Bunn some
$326,233, the report stated.
He later sold a portion of the property
to the Borden Co. for its plant.
The entire transaction cost the bank
$95,560, including interest, Mr. Bruner
said.
In another complicated procedure, C.
T. Parker appraised 400 acres of land
on Buck Creek road for $600,000. He
then approved a loan for its purchase,
Bruner explained. The loan to ADN
Corp., the purchaser, was for $119,464.
It was initialed CTP and signed by Mr.
A. D. Norton who has denied making
the signature, Bruner explained.
Bruner said a hand writing expert
was called in. It was his (Bruner’s)
opinion that no other bank officials
were involved in the defalcation or
misuse of funds.
