Former head
of Vernon S&L
accused of fraud
DALLAS (AP) — The former chair
man of the board of Vernon Savings &
Loan Association was charged Thursday
in a 13-count federal indictment in con
nection with a $46 million loan at Ver
non in April 1986.
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.

HOUSTON (AP) — Astronaut Karol
