The indictment issued by the Dallas Bank Fraud Task Force accused Woody F. Lemons of Vernon of bank fraud, misapplication of funds, conspiracy and illegally sharing in the proceeds of a bank transaction. No one answered Associated Press telephone calls to Lemons’ Vernon home. Vernon, which had offices in both Vernon and Dallas, was closed by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp. in November 1987. The FSLIC committed $1.3 billion to help reopen the institution as a new thrift, which was then called Montfort Savings Associa tion. The indictment filed in Dallas accused Lemons of arranging an inflated loan for the purchase and development of prop erty in Arlington, and in receiving a share of the loan proceeds from an inter mediate seller of the property in question during the allegations. The loan was inflated by $3.5 million, ostensibly so the intermediate seller could buy either from Vernon or from Vernon borrowers properties that were foreclosured or were about to be fore closed. According to the indictment, how ever, Lemons planned to use a portion of the $3.5 million for his own personal benefit. Approximately $200,000 even tually was transferred to Lemons from the account. The indictment also alleges that Lem ons conspired to defraud examiners of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board by using bogus consulting fees to conceal his receipt of the extremely questionable loan proceeds. Federal agents investigating the case said the charges against Lemons were part of the Justice Department’s ongoing investigation of suspected fraud in the Texas savings and loan industry. The in vestigation of Vernon is continuing, the agents said. The bank fraud task force includes the FBI and other federal agents. U.S. Attorney Marvin Collins said the task force, finishing its first full year of operation this month, has charged 23 in dividuals and convicted 13. one was ac quitted in Iowa. “Of the 23, 10 are insiders -— presi dents, chief executive officers, senior or executive vice presidents or owners,” Collins said. “In addition, several are major borrowers. The charges to date in volve 10 savings and loan banks,” he said. Voter turnout falls below prediction AUSTIN (AP) — Voter turnout in Tuesday’s election fell short of the re cord that Secretary of State Jack Rains had predicted, and Rains blamed week end opinion polls for keeping the total vote lower than he expected. Final results showed a turnout of 5,419,062, or 66.8 percent of the state’s 8,200,260 registered voters, Rains said. That was short of the 5.98 million, or 73 percent, he had projected and slightly lower than the 1984 total of 5.38 million. Rains said news reports over the weekend about polls projecting Republi can George Bush the winner in Texas conveyed an impression that the presi dential race was over. “From a constitutional standpoint, I don’t believe you can restrict the media’s use of polls,” Rains said. “But when the media’s message to the voter is ‘your vote won’t count for anything,’ then we have a problem with participation. ” Republican wins tax assessor place after 41 -year wait DALLAS (AP) — Republican David Childs stretched an early lead into a nar row victory in the Dallas County tax as sessor election, which took the office out of the Democrat’s hands for the first time in 41 years. Childs defeated Democrat Ceil Wise man, gamering 51.1 percent of the vote and taking control of the last county wide elected position held by a Democrat. “We were not prepared for that type of turnout for absentee voting,” Wise man told The Dallas Morning News. “We didn’t plan for gearing our cam paign toward that. ’ ’ As a result, she said, huge numbers of absentee ballots had been cast before she had mailed out her campaign leaflets and before her telephone canvassers hit full speed. Childs said his obstacle was overcom ing a 17 ,000 straight-party voting advan tage county Democrats enjoyed over Re publicans. “Fortunately, I overcame my hur dle,” Childs said. “She didn’t overcome hers.” Adding confusion to the campaign was the fact that Childs had the same last name as Democrat John Childs, who did not seek re-election after 15 years in of fice. Wiseman charged throughout the campaign that David Childs was trying to ride into office on name-recognition con fusion. And that same week, Wiseman filed suit against David Childs, accusing him of fraudulently circulating inaccurate campaign advertisements that suggested he had been endorsed by Dallas’ two ma jor newspapers, when in fact both news papers had endorsed her for the general election. Childs, who received the newspapers’ endorsements before the Republican pri mary election, countered that Wiseman and her campaign staff misrepresented his ads in attempts to hurt his campaign.
