House in foreclosure; accounts, assets of Lyons, others seized THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Foreclosure proceedings have begun on the $700,000 house where the troubles of National Baptist Convention USA Inc. President Rev. Henry Lyons began. Lyons missed the March pay ment and each one since, accord ing to court papers. World Sav ings and Loan Association is owed $457,714 on the house he bought with former employee Bernice Edwards. The foreclosure complaint also names Lyons' wife of 26 years, Deborah, as a defendant, even though she is not listed on the deed. According to World Savings attorney Robert L. Wunker, Deborah Lyons may have an interest in the property "by virtue of her marriage." Deborah Lyons told police it was her discovery of the house - and Lyons' co-ownership of it with Edwardi - that prompted her to set fires in it a year ago, sparking investigations * into Lyons' financial dealings. Lyons, Edwards and conven tion employee Brenda Harris are charged in a federal indictment that claims the trio stole millions ' from the organization and used the funds to support a lavish lifestyle. On Monday, federal prosecu tors also agreed to allow the con vention access to its main bank account. As part of the cases against Lyons, Edwards and Har ris, prosecutors made claims on property including the house, seized cars and jewelry and froze dozens of bank accounts. According to a sworn state ment by the lead investigator, FBI Agent Neil Palcnzuela, offi cials believe Edwards will "liqui date her jewelry through whatev er means possible." The money would likely go to pay her lawyers, court papers indicate. wma?m?m?a?mm* uhp C?Of7S?JST7&r //A I W /S7/&r/TJ&t/Of7 ///A I Gofer Memorial A.M.E. Zion Church 1 . 630 N.
