Greensburg mayor admits hoax in pilferage tale

In congressional testimony made public Monday, Greensburg Indiana Mayor Sheldon Smith admitted his story of Soviet leaders slashing him and stealing city funds was fiction. Prosecutor Richard Garvey said the 39 year old mayor confessed the hoax tied to a pigeon drop confidence game. Smith, who also serves as city judge, had borrowed 7178 dollars since 1957 and had not deposited it. A state police lie test cleared Hollars, linked to the alleged attack, before the mayor disclosed the hoax.
