FREDERICK. Md. September %
Holding that no evidence had been
presented showing either fraud or at
tempt to embezzle, the court, Chief
Judge Hammond Urner and Asso-
ciate Judges Glen II. Worthington and
Robert B. Peter, presiding, yesterday
afternoon found AMMAN A. Horner,
cashier of the banking firm of Amman.
Horner & Co.. Emmitshurg. not guilty.
Horner was indicted by the Septem-
ber grand jury on charges of embez-
element, larceny and obtaining money
under false pretenses, in connection
with the bank failure. which involves
liabilities of about 100000.
Faces Two other Charges.
Horner is facing two other charges,
larceny and obtaining money under
false pretenses. and a joint indict-
ment. in which he and Edgar L. An
nan. vice president of the defunct
bank, are included. Horner will be
tried on one of the other charges Oc-
tober 10. Annan's trial will follow
that of Horner
The case involved a note transac-
F. S. K. Matthews. Emmitsburg. Nd.
and the other for 5000. on Albert c.
Wetzel of Emmitsburg. These two
notes. with other collateral, were de-
posted by Horner in the Baltimore
Commercial Bank to cover a loan to
the banking firm of Amman. Horner
& Co.
Failure Before Maturity.
Before the maturity of the COL
lateral notes the banking firm failed
and its business at Emmitsburg was
taken over by the Farmers State
Bank, Horner becoming cashier of
that institution. At maturity the
notes were sent to the Emmitsburg
Bank by the Baltimore institution
for collection. Horner collected the
money and placed 1t to the credit of
the account of AMMAN. Horner & Co.
then in process of liquidation. Horner
explained that his banking firm had
placed collateral to the excess OF 20
per cent Of the loan with the Balti-
more bank. and that the S1,100 was a
part of the assets of the defunct
bank.
Judge Urner in handing down a
decision said that while there were
some irregularities in methods o,
handling the account there was. nc
proof that Horner had used the
money for his personal use.
