Defaulter Frank Brown Vanishes After $200000 Embezzlement
Frank M Brown, longtime bookkeeper at the German National Bank of Newport, fled after being found to have misused at least 200000 over several years. A jealous partner alleged to have knowledge of his spending helped reveal the loss. The bank says it is sound and seeks to pay all claims as directors hold nightly sessions. Brown, 30, son of ex Mayor Paris C Brown, left town for Odin Illinois but never arrived, with relatives stating disclosure of his whereabouts is withheld.
