Hinkle, who killed himself amf his
.two uhiMron^ VjrgH; 10; ?.P,'J 5^25
both, 8, here last Saturday night* was
deeply involved in financial troubles,
according to an announcement made
herwtoday by (J. H. Reams, pi-eaident
fciid?^ owner of the Crown Hosiery
Mills at which Hinkle waa book*
keeper* ^ a "
The statement af Mr. Kearna waa
to the effect that when an audit of
the company's hooka waa mad# 4**V
May It was discovered that Hinkle
had been taking $800 of the company's
money every month aince 1925
or earlier.
Hinkle at that time was said to
have promised to pay back the money
that he had taken and begged for a
second trial. Mr. Reams said that
for the sake of Hinkle's family he
did not discharge him. Since that
time Hinkle hus been paying the company
through building and loan stock,
paying $135 a month to one company
for this purpose.
I Mr. Kearns believes that the heavy
payment plus the loss of the large
amounts he had been accustomed to
taking for many months so complicated
the financial affairs of his employe
that he determined to end his'
life. k
The statement from the hosiery
man was made today at the request
of members of the Hinkle family. It
had been previously held back by
consideration for them. What purposes
the money which was taken
from the mills was put t0
bo determined either by )|r Vl^B
