Robert Greer Admits Stealing Studebaker in Raleigh Sept. 16, Oct. 14, 1920

Robert Greer has admitted to stealing the Studebaker automobile from Raleigh; he made the admission in his effort to clear his friend, Mildred Henricks. On Oct. 9 Habeas corpus proceedings before Justice W.A. Hoke of the Supreme Court, in the effort to release from the Wake county jail Mildred Hendrix of High Point, resulted in refusal of the justice to release the young defendant. He did reduce the bond of Hendrix from $2,500 to $500. The writ was brought here from High Point by L.B. Williams, of that bar, and presented to Justice Hoke after testimony of nearly four hours. Young Hendrix, who had been held on a charge of stealing a Studebaker Car from B.C. Bullock in Raleigh, September 16, was acquitted by Robert Greer, also of High Point, who testified to the court that he alone stole the car and had earlier accused Hendrix while under the influence of whiskey.
