Ex Commonwealth Officer Held For Grand Jury
Minnie Mangum former assistant secretary treasurer of the defunct Commonwealth Building and Loan Assn waived a police court hearing and was held for a grand jury on a $174 661.30 theft charge from her former employer Police Justice Savory Amato. Bond set at $50 000 after a motion by Commonwealth's Attorney Linnod Tabb Jr. Auditors report shortages at Commonwealth totaling about $2 219 000. Tabb indicated additional charges would wait until the audit is finished, with presentment planned for April or May. Mangum appeared in court with sister Mrs H L Vail Sr. of Suffolk. The record shows two bond sureties face civil suits from the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corp. Defense counsel objected to bond increase but the judge overrode, requiring substitute sureties to certify noninvolvement in related suits. Mangum was paroled to Broudy to await posting of the increased bond. The Commonwealth Building and Loan Assn. was placed in receivership by a Norfolk court on Feb. 10 and taken over by Home Federal Savings and Loans Assn. under court order.
