Norwood Testifies In Own Defense In Bank Case
J D Norwood, former chairman of the People National Bank Salisbury directorate, testifies for about two hours denying wrongdoing. He says he took three Gregory notes for 5000 dollars tied to Nancy Mills stock and sought to have the bank receiver accept them after the bank closed. The government argues Norwood noting large losses from Washington notes, while he claims he posted 125000 dollars in collateral lowering the bank’s liability to 60000 dollars. Cross examination links Ecklenburg Mills to cotton slump, with 600000 end issue not fully floated and only 50000 monthly availability.
