Former Mission ' Board Trea? ( urer Gets Five To Seven - Years In Prison 19 OTHER INDICTMENTS Atlanta, Feb. 5.^CUnto S. Carnes. who rose from ex -convict to a po sition of prominence as treasurer of the Southern Baptist Home' Misi-fcm. Board, and decamped after nine yeirs. leaving an alleged shortage of neatly $1,000,000, pleaded guilty to embezzle ment here today andwas given ary indeterminate sentence of Ave w seven, years imprisonment. His plea was accepted oh recom mendation of -board ofBcials. who said Carries had turned over all his re sources for restitution, that it would save the State a long, expensive trial and that Justice would be served by the sentehsse, due . to his age. It was added that Carnes had agreed to aid in untangling .the board's accounts, on which auditors have been working since he disappeared last Sumrr.er. Only one of the 20 indictments re turned against h<m? that. charging misappropriation of $80.000? figured In the proceedings. The State announced ?Uiat the lofhers would be dismissed if the 51-yraf-elcT former layman did not seek a pardon or parole before the expiration of his minimum sentence. Takes No Part. Carnes. who Had beer! coflned to the county jail since his arrest last September, jn Winnipeg. Manitoba, appeared in court in custody of de puty sheriffs, accompanied by h i 1 at torneys- and younger son. Robert. He made no statement and his only par ticipation in the brief formalities was to stcn the indictment. ? After a hastily empaneled Jury had returned a formal consent verdict of guilty. Judge, "*rlyn B. Moore passed sentence with the statement that the Sentence seemed "inadequate," but .that he assented in the Solicitor-Gten erjjJ's recommendation "in view of the recommendations of* the Home Mission Board, which is most directly involved financially." Closing Chapter. . .-THus was written ii closing chapter in a meteoric career that rivalled" that cf a fiction thriller. "ITFas as an obscure auditor' that Carnes first became affiliated with the Home Mission Board. Ao'ear later, in 1911. his ability as an* or. countant and a business acumen de scribed as inherent in him since early youth, won for him the post of treasurer. Then he Joined the Capitol Avenue Baptist Church., became chairtnan of ts finance and bulldinsr committees, was Invited to membership' in several Clubs, and established a home in the fashionable Druid HHJs Section. He became the head i>T several private business enterprises here and gener ally was regarded as a shrwd business man and successful financier. _ OtT August 15. last, he mysteriously disappeared and 10 days later a search was instituted for him bv his church colleagues and family ii\ the belief he had met with foul play. When days passed without a trace of him. audi- > tors were set to work on his books. Prisoner Before. Co-incident with the discovery of a shoi'tage placed by the examiner^ at $935,000, It developed that Carnes had a record of two prison sentences, on? of which he Served in a Missouri prison and the other in the Federal Penitentiary^ here for using the malls to defraud sortie five years before he becahie connected with the mission board. Diving Into a private file kept bv Carnes in one of his private business offices, the auditors reported that a great part of the defalcations were carried , out )jy a systematic pyramid ing of loans Carnes was said to have Negotiated with various Southern banks, ostensibly In behalf of the mission board. He had carte blanche authority by virtue of hi* office . to make such toans. and his speculations were said to have extended over a. period of several years. Receivers appointed for Carnes' per sonal properties later reported .vthat this private file also revealed that Oames had been the financial bene factor of two girls .seeking careers In the motion pictures.
