Banker William Rose, who shared others' wealth last year in Ellenville, N.Y., reaped his reward last week. Having admitted gift-loans of $1,400,000 that collapsed his Home National Bank (TiME, Dec. 24, 1956), Rose, 51, heard a New York federal judge sentence him to five years in jail for misapplication of bank funds. President Joseph Di Candia of the nearby Anjopa Paper Co., who invested part of $958,000 in loans from Rose in wine, women and song, was sentenced to three years for his part in the deal.
