Mrs. Jernigan is represented by

is still alive is “to ridiculous to be
MAHONE TO TESTIFY
Earl H. Mahone, vice president
of the First Citizens Bank and
Trust Co., co-plain tiff in the suits
against Jefferson Standard, will al
so be examined at the same time.
The bank became a party to the
suits after it loaned Mrs. Jernigan
money on the insurance policies,
which were then assigned to tne
bank as security.
The insurance company attorneys,
claiming that Jernigan is still alive
and did not drown as reported, say
they will also prove that Jemigan’s
estate was insolvent and that Jer
nigan was insured far beyond his
ability to pay.
Smith and McLeod argued at a.
recent hearing on continuance of
,*Oe trial that- Jernigan was bank
rupt. They also claimed that Jer
nigan and his wife and other mem
bers of their family hdd entered:
into a scheme to “kite" checks be-’
tween banks and that they had
about *IO,OOO in worthless checks
out at the time of his disappear
ance.”
In one of their affidavits, the
Jefferson Standard claims that Jer
nigan for some months prior to his
reported drowning “had entered
upon a program pf obtaining a
large amount of insurance, parti
cularly during the period from a
bout the middle of June until short
ly before the day of the reported'
drowning.”
CHANGED COURSE
The company .awyers ’also claim |
that Jernigan had established a
course, of practice of paying his
premiums late until Just before the
date of disappearance and that he
suddenly changed this course and
paid premiums in advance of their
due date.
The insurance company also con
tends that after Jernigan went in
to bankruptcy in 1951 he made a
composition with Ids creditors, “but
has not in all respects compiled
with said composition’’and that for
several months prior to the date
of disappearance “was again in ser
ious financial difficulties.”
“We will attempt to prove that
these circumstances support our
contention gs a well-conceived plan,
for disappearance,” Smith said.
