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.
