Partridge Indicted in False Pretenses and Embezzlement Case
Robert H. Partridge, former National Lumber Company president and later GM, was indicted on two counts false pretenses and embezzlement. He allegedly deceived Rev. Eugene Hannan, pastor of St. Martin's Church, into investing $9,000 cash and $5,500 in notes in a bogus patent tied to National Lumber. The probe links Partridge to misused funds and inflated company assets as receivership actions unfold. Partridge’s whereabouts were unclear with investigators suspecting Virginia or New York.
