Indict Cashier of Brownsburg Bank DANVILLE, Ind., Dec. 13.-(AP) -Cleo Hunt, cashier of the Hunter bank, a private bank at Brownsburg which now is closed, was released under $5,000 bond today after his arrest on indictments charging him with banker's embezzlement, grand larceny and forgery. A Hendricks county grand jury investigated the bank's affairs several weeks ago, but returned no indictments. At the request of John A. Kendall, prosecuting attorney, a special grand jury was summoned by Judge A. J. Stevenson and it voted the indictments. Hunt is the son-in-law of Tyra Hunter, owner of the bank, which was closed in June, 1932. The indictments alleged that the cashier accepted deposits after he knew the bank would close; that he converted to his own use $8,750 entrusted to him by T. G. Smith to buy Liberty bonds: that he took for own use Liberty bonds belonging to Myrtle Reynolds valued at $3,500, and that he forged a check for $800 with the intention of defrauding Annie Neal.
