Husband Enters Guilty Plea to Forgery Counts
Alexander James Husband a 56 year old Roswell farmer pleaded guilty to three counts of forgery. Bond set at $1000 per count. He swindled the First National Bank Portales of 1750 with a ruse using Check and cash deposits. Bank officials traced the fraud with Portales tellers and local clerks. The case appeared amid a Capitol Hill debate over a 1956 budget surplus and possible tax cuts. Democrats weighed the risk of inflation and favored using the surplus to reduce the national debt.
