' " : Official said that Frailer and ' ' 'Anderson called on a number of stockholders and represented that they woo Id be able to recorer for them a large share of the money . they bad Invested in the defnnct tllf corporation. It was contended, by Anderson and Frazier. ' according to the state corporation commissioner. that $51,000 remained in the hands of the liquidation commit tee. The truth of this statement was challenged by officials. In return for their "services" Frazier and Anderson were to re ceive 10 per cent of the funds sub scribed by the various stockhold ers. ,. Affidavits secured by the state corporation commissioner from at least four of the stockholders solicited by Anderson and Frazier indicated that the men received advance payments aggregating ap proximately $1500. One stock holder advanced $500. while the payments of other stockholders rawe-ed from $10 to $100. Both Anderson and Frazier were summoned to appear before the corporation commissioner Monday and explain their conduct. Frazier complied with the sum mons and was questioned by the district attorney. lie denied that he had participated in the pay ments, and alleged that all checks had been made payable to Ander son. A bank book taken from Frazier indicated that he and An derson had a joint bank account and that payments made by the stockholders were credited to their joint account. A check for $100 made payable to Frazier was aL-Mj produced by the state corpor ation commissioner. Anderson had failed to make an appearance at the corporation department last night. He was alleged to have told the stock holders that he represented committee of the stockholders. ' Frazier served a term in the state penitentiary here for for gery, McCalliater said. He wa sent to the prison from Lane coun ty to serve a term of from one to five years. He received a condi tional pardon in 1923. Neither the district attorney nor the state corporation commis sioner have any record of Ander son's operations prior to his ar rival here a few weeks ago. Most of the stockholders who paid money to Anderson and Fra zier are residents of Marion and Polk counties.
