• Crimes punished: The book is closed on another part of the Kimball-Jenkins Estate mess in Concord. Nicole Clock Hanlon of Loudon was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison followed by five years of supervised release for bank and credit card fraud according to a March 10 release from the United States Attorney, District of New Hampshire. Hanlon had worked as an office manager at Kimball-Jenkins School of Art and was convicted of stealing about $31,000 by forging trustee signatures, along with charging about $11,000 using a Home Depot credit card that she opened in the Estate’s name, according to the release. Hanlon was also convicted of using a company credit card at another employer, Martell Realty Group in Manchester, to charge about $6,500. The crimes happened in 2005 and 2006 and she’s been ordered to pay $36,900 to the victims.
The state’s Charitable Trust office was investigating Kimball-Jenkins’ trustee actions near the time that Hanlon was indicted in November 2007. Estate users were also protesting a proposal to let the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen use it for their headquarters at that time.
Carolyn Jenkins died of cancer in 1981 and left her family’s late-1800s mansion for charitable purposes.
An agreement was announced Oct. 2, 2008: trustees were to leave by Dec. 31 and a new board appointed; and nobody talks.
