Former Wooster Banker Likely Transferred to Federal Prisons
It is probable that L. P. Obliger, former Wooster banker, now serving a term in the Ohio prison for involvement in the Wooster bank failure, will be moved with J. R. Zimmerman to a federal prison. The government inspector said the transfer of state prisoners to federal facilities will be brief, with Zimmerman already ordered to Atlanta and Obliger expected to follow soon. A Cleveland trial last month had suggested Obliger would receive a parole, but no parole news has emerged since.
