REPUBLIC fimai 02 The Arizona Republic Thursday, September 27, 1984 Former Penn Square loan officer Obituaries of 23 fraud charges is innocent United Prat International OKLAHOMA CITY A federal court jury Wednesday acquitted former Penn Square Bank loan officer William G. Patterson on 23 of 25 criminal charges filed against him after the bank's failure in 1982. Patterson, 34, wept when the verdict was announced and had to be helped from his chair as the jury was recessed for the afternoon. U.S. District Judge Lee R.

West ordered the jury of eight women and four men to return today to consider two remaining counts of wire fraud. The jury acquitted Patterson on 17 counts of misapplication of bank funds, two counts of altering bank records and four counts of wire fraud. "We'll have more to say after the jury has reached its final verdict," said defense attorney Burck Bailey as he patted his sobbing client's shoulders. Patterson's wife, Eve, held her husband's hand as they walked into the courtroom after the jury announced it had reached the partial verdict and wept as she heard him pronounced not guilty. U.S.

Attorney Bill Price, who presented more than 50 witnesses in the government's efforts to obtain the first criminal conviction relating to Penn Square lending terson generated millions of dollars worth of fraudulent or poorly 'collateralized loans that were either funded by Penn Square or purchased by other banks. The government also alleged that Patterson manipulated loan amounts without the permission of borrowers to cover delinquent payments to the upstream banks. Most of the loans involved Oklahoma oil-and-gas exploration companies that folded or went bankrupt when the Oklahoma oil boom went bust in 1981 and 1982. Patterson testified Monday for six hours and claimed he was innocent of any wrongdoing. He said he was only following orders given him by former Penn Square board Chairman William P.

Jennings or bank President Eldon Beller. Prosecutors say Patterson knew he was violating the law and deliberately misled bank customers and officials, as well as upstream banks, about the value of the loans. Patterson admitted during his testimony that he also ordered interest payments on loans held by participating banks without first collecting the money from borrowers but said he was not responsible for the nearly $13 million in such payments discovered after the bank closed. pandering conviction on grounds that the statute covering pandering is unconstitutional and imposes "cruel and unusual punishment" by making a prison term mandatory. The prosecutor, Deputy District Attorney Richard Weber, told reporters, "My view on the conviction is that it is appropriate." Of the allegations that Almodovar was set up because she was writing a book, he said, "I don't believe any of those points were raised in evidence, and my personal opinion is that there was no set-up.

The tapes were very explicit." Almodovar contends she was set up because police learned of her plans to publish the book, which she says chronicles sexual wrongdoing and corruption in the Police Department's Hollywood division. "The whole scheme was developed by Patricia Isgro, (the fellow officer), with the help of the police officers, to get Norma Jean before you here today," Schucart said. Much of the prosecution's case rested on tapes that were recorded by a hidden microphone. 'Br. -S William G.

Patterson Testified that he merely was following the orders of his superiors. policies, declined comment on the decision. Jurors deliberated more than six hours Tuesday and Wednesday before reaching the verdict. Patterson faced a sentence of up to 125 years in prison and fines of $101,500. The jury sent a note to West saying it had reached a partial then entered the courtroom.

Federal prosecutors alleged Pat held her as she cried on his shoulder. Approached by reporters, she said she was too upset to talk. "I don't see how the jury can convict my lady on the basis of testimony from a woman who lied on the stand," Savant told reporters. "She was set up. Her own naivete and sweetness have been used against her.

"They want to get her in prison, and if they do, she'll never come out because she knows too much about the department." The jury foreman, Ron Cuurtis, 44, said jurors followed Munoz's instructions on pandering law. "The law is stated in such a general fashion that there really was not a choice (of verdicts)," Cuurtis said. He noted the law merely requires that a person is found to have encouraged another to go into prostitution to result in a conviction. "She did encourage," he said.

A small-town teen-ager who didn't realize "there are dangerous people out there" when he set out to hitchhike across the country was in critical condition and comatose Wednesday after a roadside beating. The Rev.

Fred Yoos and his wife, Lorrie, of Geneseo, N.Y., said their son, Scott, 18, had refused to heed warnings that his long-planned trek to California could be dangerous. "All the significant people in his life spent the whole summer trying to talk him out of this trip," Lorrie Yoos said. "He comes from a small town and never met an unkind person in his life." Scott was in critical but stable condition Wednesday, and Dr. Larry Tice of St. Mary's Hospital said his recovery will be a "long-term" struggle.

Geneseo, south of Rochester in upstate New York, has a population of about 5,000. The young man was on his way to Van Nuys, where he planned to do volunteer work for a nuclear-weapons-freeze group, Fred Yoos said, adding, "Scott could understand the need for nuclear disarmament but not that there are dangerous people out there." An Eagle Scout, Scott has done "a lot of hiking and backpacking" and wanted to see the country from the "easternmost point on Cape Cod to the westernmost point in California," Lorrie Yoos said. Scott was found unconscious Sept. 20 on a dirt road near Gypsum in the Colorado Rockies and was unidentified in the hospital for four days. He first was identified as Christopher Harvey, 15, of Andrews, Texas, who disappeared July 11 from his parents' vacation home in Colorado's San Juan Mountains.

Because of Scott's swollen, battered face, Christopher's parents identified him as their son, and it wasn't until dental records didn't check out that they discovered the beating victim wasn't Christopher. Authorities are searching for two young men in a red pickup truck who were seen picking up Scott on Interstate 70 on Sept. 20. Lorrie Yoos said her son planned his trip to "see as much of the country as he could. He planned it so he could stay with relatives every two or three days." On Sept.

19, he had stayed with his father's cousin, Peggy Anderson, west of Denver. Anderson and her husband, Ray, made the connection between the mystery beating victim and Scott when they read a report in Tuesday morning's newspaper. Peggy Anderson believes Scott was robbed and beaten for his new backpacking equipment. NY chemical plant bombed; terrorists linked to 14 blasts United Press International MOUNT PLEASANT, N.Y. An explosion rocked a Union Carbide plant in suburban Westchester County on Wednesday night less than 24 hours after a blast caused extensive damage to South Africa's consulate in a Manhattan skyscraper.

An FBI spokesman said Gannett-Westchester newspapers got a call from someone saying the United Freedom Front claimed responsibility for the blast. Mount Pleasant police Officer David Cuccia said that there were no injuries in the explosion and that maintenance workers who were in the building left before the blast. The extent of damage was not known immediately. The FBI said members of a joint terrorist task force were sent to the scene after being notified by the Westchester County police, which sent its bomb squad. A spokesman for the New York Daily News said the newspaper received a telephone call at 8:50 p.m.

and the caller said that 100 pounds of dynamite had been placed in the silicone laboratory of the Union Carbide plant. "It will be detonated in 20 minutes," the spokesman quoted the caller as saying. "Clear the building, clear the area. Down with apartheid of South Africa. Down with U.S.

imperialism." Earlier Wednesday, the FBI said that a single terrorist group using dif ferent names may be responsible for the blast at the South African consulate as well as 13 other bombing attacks, including one on the U.S. Capitol last fall. An explosion early Wednesday rocked a 33-story skyscraper on Park Avenue in Manhattan, causing extensive damage to seven floors and devastating the 12th floor that housed the South African consulate. No one was injured in that explosion, and no one has been killed or injured in the 13 other blasts in the New York area and in Washington since December 1982. A group calling itself the Guerrilla Resistance, claimed responsibility for the blast at the skyscraper.

Kenneth Walton, deputy assistant director of the said the group is an American terrorist organization protesting apartheid, or state-sanctioned racism, in South Africa. FBI spokesman Joseph Valiquette said the Guerrilla Resistance may be one and the same as three other terrorist groups. He said the FBI and New York police were investigating the possibility that the United Freedom Front, the Armed Resistance Unit, the Revolutionary Fighting Group and the Guerrilla Resistance are identical. "The only reason we can determine for these different names would be to confuse the various law enforcement agencies investigating the cases," Valiquette said. Walton said the FBI linked the four groups through "the targets, the rhetoric, the M.O.

(method of operations) and the symbolic nature of all the attacks." I Ellen Blanche Purdy Ellen Blanche Purdy, 69, of Phoenix, died Sept. 25, 1984, at Hillhaven Healthcare.
