Gaddy Denies Claims Continued from page 1 Barefoot said he did not get a raise promised him by Gaddy in January, yd he asked Caddy about it. "Gaddy said 'yes. you do deserve it, you'll get it*. Lunsford got a raise, but I was supervisor." "Well, on my next check, 1 didn't have it, and 1 went in there and told the girl I was giving my notice". "Gaddy called me into the office later and told me to take the next two weeks off, I didn't have to work. I thought he meant the 11 days vacation I had coming, but he said, no, we'll pay you for that, too. Go ahead and take the two weeks. Barefoot said Gaddy had two checks for him for about $515, he remembers. "I believe he was paying me to keep quiet", Barefoot said. "He was scared to fire me, but he wanted me to go". Barefoot said Gaddy came to his home about three weeks after Barefoot quit his job. "He came out with some ham for me, and then he starts talking about things he said he'd heard that I had done, things that were wrong. I told him, 'Look. I'm not going to be a scapegoat for you, if this stuff comes Alt, I'll go to the newspaper' Barefoot said he believes Bullard was fired for talking about the garage losses. ? Bullard Worked Straight "Back last December, I recommended they find another place for Jimmy, because he just wasn't mechanically inclined. He is a good worker, and he was doing 80% to 90% of the work there, but I just didn't think he was qualified". "So I told Gaddy, and Gaddy said they'd let him go Jan. 1. Gaddy said they'd try to find him a place somewhere else, but he didn't." "If they were going to let him go, they would have done it then, Jan. 1, not now. Jimmy saw me about three or four weeks ago, and he said, "they're going to try and fire me for talking'. 'Course I'd left, and there wasn't anything I could do", Barefoot said. "Bullard worked straight for me, he'll do anything you tell him to do. Gaddy said they didn't have any openings for him, but I noticed they do". "What I believe, is that the city council should check the city manager. Okay, you've got an auditor that comes around, but as long as this dollar is accounted for, the auditor doesn't know what it went for," Barefoot said. "The city of Raeford isn't all bad. They've got some real good, * dedicated people working. There's some good boys working down there, some of them two years or more, and all they're making is $2.15 an hour." Gaddy Replies On Tuesday, Gaddy replied: "Barefoot was in complete charge as supervisor," Gaddy said. "I'm a sitting duck. I could be hung from the highest tree by my department heads if they wanted to, but I have to trust them. "I depend on my department heads to do their jobs and he didn't do it and that's why he's not working here anymore." Gaddy said he knows nothing about a missing 327 Chevrolet engine, which Barefoot said was put in Gaddy's son's car. He also said he doesn't know anything about maintenance work done on his son's car and billed to the city, but that he does not believe this was ever done. He has never received any travel pay for trips he didn't make, he said. "I have to go to these institutes and seminars. That's my job," he said. "I fired a man once for saying he went somewhere and he didn't." Gaddy said he paid Barefoot for two weeks work, in addition to the vacation time he had accrued. "Sure, I paid him off," he said. "He wanted to work out his two weeks notice, but I told him no, if you're going, you're going now. 1 didn't want him out there". , He was not paid for sick leaves, Gaddy said. Gaddy said that once he paid Barefoot to work on his car, after work hours, and that Barefoot bought the parts and billed the costs to the city. 'Don't Do It' "And there are two or three vehicles that he has assured me should be junked because they were hazardous and can't be fixed, but I see them running around town yet. He'd purchase them and put them back together, I don't know at whose expense," Gaddy said. "I'd tell him and Crawford (Thomas) would tell him "don't take private vehicles, not even mine, in the garage during work hours,' " Gaddy said. He said he told Barefoot he could work on vehicles, however, after work hours. "He had his own tools," Gaddy said. Gaddy said that Barefoot had been a good worker until about Thanksgiving of last year, r "He was a friend of the family. We'd hunt together, garden together and he was a trusted employee until that time," Gaddy said. He said that, dunking back however, that suspicious things had happened while Barefoot worked for the city. Gaddy said Barefoot asked him last Thursday about a mechanic's job with the city that was advertised in The New-Journal, bul Gaddy said he told him the job had been filled that day. Gaddy said he thought that Barefoot was mentally unbalanced. "I think he needs to see a psychiatrist. Why else would he try to ruin a man's job, his family, his life?" Police Report Reports of losses at the garage were first investigated on May 13 by Raeford police chief Leonard Wiggins. According to Wiggins, he was told by Scull that from January to March, 1,400 gallons of gasoline were unaccounted for. Wiggins said he understood that the gas has since been accounted for. Gaddy said the losses were a result of incorrect listing on invoices. In addition, Wiggins said Scull told him that six large truck tires were missing and had not been accounted for. Wiggins said he was later told by Gaddy that the tires had been put on city truck number 13. Wiggins said that Scull told him he did not believe the missing tires had been put on that truck. Gaddy said Tuesday that four tires of the brand that were missing were on city truck 13, and he thought those were four of the missing tires. He said he couldn't tell from the record what the brands of the other missing tires were. In addition, Wiggins said that former city worker Jimmy Bullard, who was fired two weeks ago, told him that 16 quarts of oil were put on David Lunsford's truck on a Friday, and that the oil was not on the truck on the following Monday. Wiggins said Lunsford told him he did not know of anything missing at the garage and did not know anything about any oil placed on his truck. Wiggins said 23 quarts of oil were found later on Lunsford's truck. "Conflicting Stories' Wiggins said he did not investigate any further. "1 got conflicting stories and I can not say for sure that anything out there is missing." Jimmy Bullard said he has filed a complaint with the attorney general's office, claiming that he was fired due to racial discrimination and because ne reported losses to several councilmen. "The one that done wrong and discriminated against me, he should have to pay for it", Bullard said. "And the one that's responsible for what was missing they should have to pay too". "Lunsford was loafing, I was doing 80% of the work, and I got fired", Bullard said. Bullard would not say if he had been questioned by SBI agents heading the investigation. A city councilman said Tuesday that he did not know what the council will do until after the district attorney's investigation was complete. "I think it is too early to speculate until we know more about the matter", Benny McLeod said. A city council meeting on the budget is set for tonight but may be postponed. Library News "Women Who Win" by Francene Sabin: There can be no doubt that the fourteen women whose stories you are about to read are winners. And Uirough their efforts, a whole new universe is becoming available to all females. The battle they began is not over, however. Equality in sports, as in many other areas of life, is not yet a reality. But the time is fast approaching when these unbalances will no longer exist.
