Marion County Treasurer Confesses Framed Robbery Tale
Harry C. Forry, now ex treasurer of Marion County Colorado, admits he staged a robbery story to cover his own theft of about 14,500 dollars. He scratched his face and struck himself with a hammer to create credibility, hid the money at home, and faced mounting debts after losing re election. His arrest follows an investigation triggered when a clerk found him on the courthouse floor after reports of a bandit attack. Forry says he planned the ruse to conceal the theft and has four children. His wife denies knowledge of the incident.
