(ADAPTED FROM M Deni WORKS OF SAMUEL Occurring TAYLOR COLERIDGE' In the 1 ANCIENT MARINB TONIGHT AT 7 RH. lice and sion, leac and norn S&L official pleads guilty to 2 counts of bank-fraud are invoh HOUSTON (AP) — In a coup that could crack major bank-fraud cases, Herman K. Beebe Sr. has pleaded guilty to fraud charges in Texas and Louisiana and agreed to cooperate with an ongoing federal investigation, officials said. In return for cooperating in crim inal probes of banks and savings and loans in the Northern District of Texas and elsewhere, Beebe will not be prosecuted for any bank or thrift fraud now under investigation, the Houston Post reported Tuesday. U.S. District Judge John M. Shaw of Louisiana sentenced Beebe Friday to a year and a day in prison after Beebe pleaded guilty to two counts of bank fraud. He is scheduled to enter a penitentiary, possibly in Fort Worth, at the end of June. Beebe pleaded guilty to a wire fraud charge from the Northern District of Texas involving a $4 mil lion loan from State Savings in Lub bock to Beebe associates and a con spiracy charge for arranging a $860,000 loan from City Savings Bank and Trust Co. in DeRidder, La., to associates. “We are pleased with the plea," said Ed Tomko, with the fraud divi sion of the U.S. Justice Department in Washington. Beebe is regarded as a central fig ure in a large number of S&L fail ures in Texas, although his attorney, James Adams of Shreveport, La., said he and government attorneys had agreed not to discuss the plea bargain. “I’ve got an agreeent with the U.S. attorneys that we will not discuss the plea bargain,” Adams said Tuesday. “But I can tell you that, yes, he’s going to cooperate with the investi gation.” Adams said Beebe will not go into a federal witness-protection pro gram. , “The people who are really ner vous about Beebe turning state’s evi dence are those in the savings and Oil company founder steps down from post FORT WORTH (AP) — Western Co. of North America’s founder stepped down as the oil-field services company announced a Chapter 11 reorganization plan that could pull it out of bankruptcy during the fourth quarter. The company’s annual meeting Monday was the last for founder H.E. “Eddie” Chiles as chairman. After an emotional invocation by his wife, Fran, the Texas Rangers ma jority owner said he was stepping down and that he probably should have done it sooner. “If I’d done it about 1983, I could have quit while I was winning,” he said. “I thought the (oil) boom was going to continue forever.” Western Co.’s new chairman, Sheldon Erikson, said shareholders will be left with only a small piece of the company when it emerges from bankruptcy. He said lenders could receive more than 90 percent of Western’s stock in exchange for a large part of the company’s $563 million debt. “Most of the equity will go to cred itors,” said Erikson, who had been the company’s president and chief executive officer. He succeeds Chiles, who was named chairman emeritus and will continue to serve through the expi ration of his term as director in May 1990. A reorganization plan patterned on that of Houston-based Global Marine Inc. would give the holder of 100 shares of the present Western Co. about 2'/a shares of the reorga nized company, officials said. Details are being worked out and it is too early to speculate on a final plan, Erikson said. The plan would give creditors 97.5 percent of exist ing shareholder equity, he said. Of the reorganization plan, Erik son said after the meeting, “It’s going to mean a dilution in own ership, but probably an enhance ment in value for those sharehold ers.” “They’ll have a dilution in voting power, but they’ll come out with a positive net worth,” Erikson said. Sam R. Morrow, Western’s chief financial officer, told shareholders the company’s $553 million debt couldn’t be paid off without lenders taking stock in the company. The $553 million includes se cured, unsecured and subordinated debt, but excludes interest, which the company said is substantial. As of March 31, Western had a negative net worth of $282.3 million. “Unfortunately, if you look at the prospects for this industry and this company, we will never, never pay off that level of debt,” Morrow said. While the shareholders will be asked to give up most of their voting rights to the creditors, Morrow and Erikson both told of progress in making the company profitable. Western’s land-based oilfield serv ices now are profitable, and the com pany’s offshore drilling operations have a positive cash flow, the officers said in a separate report.
