Democratic Advocate, May 20, 1949: Horne Robbery Was Fabricated

Baltimore Paint Salesman Faked Report After Losing Sales; Planned To Commit Suicide—Herbert F. Horne, 40, Baltimore paint salesman, admitted to State Police Tuesday night that his report of hold up and robbery at Westminster last Friday night was a hoax he practiced to cover up his failure to land business contracts at Sparrows Point and Westminster, State Trooper James S. Poteet revealed.

Horne claimed he was heldup at a traffic light on Main street in Westminster, forced to drive north to town, where he was assaulted, robbed and his car taken.

Trooper Poteet said Horne confessed Tuesday night that he was not robbed and that the entire story was concocted to win sympathy for business failures.
