DVE Secretary Turns Over Property To Indemnify Bond
A. B. Dye transfers $8,600 of assets to his bondsmen to shield them from potential losses after Bedford Building Savings and Loan Association collapses. Bondsmen include Judge W. H.

Officials say the firm was insolvent for some time and no one expects creditors to receive funds.
