SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1960 Motive Suspected In Airline Crash NEW YORK (1P) A morbid, moody lawyer, heavily insured and suspected of blowing up a Miami-bound airliner with a suicide bomb, was revealed yesterday as enmeshed in a web of questionable financial deals. The attorney, Julian A. Frank, 32, of Westport, Conn., reportedly has lost as much as $600,000 last year in stock tans actions and financial deals. Flank's background and the suspicions already voiced against him raised a question of shier horror in its impact—Was what at fist seemed like a tragic airline accident costing 34 lives in reality the fruit of a diabolical plot in which the plane's passengers were innocent pawns? Frank was among the 34 who died Jan. 6 when an explosion sent a National Airlifts DC6B plunging to ea••ih near Bolivia, N.C. But for a twist of fate Frank would have been on an other airliner with 112 persons aboard. The Manhattan district attor office said two separate complaints had been lodged against Flank in lers than a year. They alleged hi' me,use of more than $20,000 cntrusted to him for dealings and charitable If proven, the chadies could have cost Frank his OA to prac tice law and wrecked a career which he boasted was leaping him fabulous sums of money. "Julian wanted to make a lot of money fast to protect his family," a friend said of the lawyer, who practiced in New York. Frank was insured for nearly $900.000 when he boarded the Mi arni-bound anlincr at IdleN.vild .Airr.smt. After the plane disinte grated mysteriously, his body was found several miles from the crash scene—where it could have been hulled by a suicide bomb that caused the total destruction moments later of the big aircraft.
