This loan was for Murtha's car wash business and he did not know Murtha before that time. He could not recall the exact amount. of the loan without a review of the records but recalled it to be a sizeable loan for a small business. He knew of no particular reason why Murtha couldn't have obtained this loan elsewhere but assumed that since he was a small businessman he’ came to Dale National Bank because it was a small bank. He did recall that there were periods of time when; because of poor business conditions, Murtha could not meet the loan payments as originally established. On these occasions, Murtha initiated contact with the bank and other arrangements, were made so that least partial payments were made on this loan and it was therefore never in default. Conceivably, for this reason, Murtha might feel some obligation to the Dale National Bank. ts oe 07-917 — jlo Interviewed on_May 23,1980 ot Johnstown PA Fite# PG 58~287 b6 b7c by SA - Oste dictoled « : «PE EAR aan this document contalns neither racommendations nor conclusions of the FBI, it Is the property of the F8! and islbbnda to your agepcy: it and ils contents ore not to be distributed oulside your ogency, FD-302 (REV, 11-27-70) O-} 0): A _ . oi an
