Ashcroft oath pledge amid Cape funeral fraud case unfolds
Missouri John Ashcroft, sworn in with his father Rev J Robert Ashcroft praying for a rights champion, announced a multi million dollar fraud case resolution involving Cape Girardeau pre arranged funeral operations. He noted court orders ending the 21 month long case against John R Benda and Bankers Memorial Pre Arrangement Foundation to be announced Wednesday.

A March 1975 suit by Danforth against Benda and his firm led to a plan protecting elderly pre arranged burial funds.
