It was the fifth bank closing in Louisiana this year and the 92nd in the nation. Shreveport financier Herman K. Beebe, convicted in January, 1985, in a fraudulent loan conspiracy, is under indictment for misapplying bank funds, conspiracy, false statements for over evaluating property and a federal charge of bank robbery.
