3 Charged on
Embezzling
Funds by FBI
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 24—(/PI—The
FBI arrested three officials of a big
department^ store credit union to
day and charged them with embezz
ling $338,901.10.
Special agent Fred Hallford, in
charge of the Pittsburgh FBI of
fice, said those arrested were Jo
seph B. Campbell, 56, vice presi
dent cf the Kaufmann Store Em
ployees’ Federal Credit Union:
John J. Cain, 45, treasurer; and
Mrs. Nana Nicoll, 31, as istant
treasurer and office manager.
The case is the 11th major em
bezzlement broken in about a year
by the FBI office in Pittsburgh in
an area embracing western Pennsyl
vania and West Virginia. The other
embezzlement charges all involve
bankers or bank employees. A total
of $3,562,000 in shortages is involved.
Twelve persons have been arrested
in the 11 cases. A 13th person, a
banker, committed suicide.
Hallford quoted Cain as saying
he used the embezzled money to
“finance lost week-ends” during
the latter part of 1944 to early 1948.
Campbell also admitted, Hallford
declared, embezzling funds for good
times. Mrs. Nicoll, now on sick
leave, told Hallford her part was
completion of mere business trans
actions for Cain.
