Indictments were returned by a special
grand jury tn the Corporation Court
this morrtlng, with YV. n. Sweeney as
foreman, against C. .1. Rixey, president
of the defunct Virginia Sut'n Deposit
and Trust Corporation. . One of the In?
dictments charges Rlxoy with larceny
of |50,000 of the monoy of the Vir?
ginia Safe Deposit? und Trust Cor?
poration.
Four others charge that he felon?
iously, knowingly and fulsoly made
false statements concerning the finan?
cial condition of tho hank to '.he State
Corporation Commission.
Three other Indictments charge him
with malting an entry in an account
kept in bank with intent in so doing
to conceal the true state of such ac?
count, to defraud said bank and to
enable and assist a person to obtain
money to which ho wan not entitled.
Following a conference between At?

announced to the court that while
itixoy's condition in not critical, it Is
serious. Me said Rixey, who is now
In Norfolk, was suffering from chronic
heart trouble and nervous shock, and
that his counsel was assured by his
physician that to bring- him Into court
at. this time would retard his recovery.
In conclusion, he added that it had
been agreed to bring him here Feb?
ruary 20 at 3 o'clock In the afternoon,
unless it would be a serious menace
to bis life to do so, and that on that
day they would give proper ball bond.
I Judge Barley said he had not en?
tered an order for Rixey's arrest and
would leave the matter of his produc?
tion In court In the hands of his at?
torneys.
I ll|s counsel said that th?y expected
they would be ready for the arraign?
ment on that ilny and asked before
leaving court for copies of the In?
dictments returned against tho ac?
cused.

court, following the investigation re?
turned eight presentments against
Rixey, which are virtually the same
