not properly registered, disposing of
mortgaged goods and impersonating

against William F. Grant of SYRIA
cuse, N. Y. a recent resident Of Oak

A peculiar story told by Grant at
the time he turned in a Nash auto
mobile for a new Star sedan excited
the suspicion Of Norman Woodbury.
with whom the transaction was made
and resulted in the investigation by
the State Highway Police officer.
It is understood that during the
conversation that lead up to the trade
and the driving away Of the new Star
by Grant, he had claimed that he
was a member OF the New York
State Police and that he was to be
transferred as an inspector to the
Maine Highway Police. The tran
saction took place on Thursday and

nothing OF the man.. They in turn
called the New York police and
found that no one by that name was
a member Of the force. A check up
on the registration numbers Of the
state gave no William F. Grant as
the owner Of a Nash car but he was
listed as having owned Ford.
It was later found that he had
traded this in with a Mr.. Marston
for the Nash and then had turned
to Woodbury. and traded the Nash.
Going to the home Of Earl Buzzell
where Grant had been living the
state officer had a talk with him in
which he told several conflicting
stories, still claiming, however, tnat
he was a member of the New York
force and that he was to be trans
ferred to the Maine force.
Place then told him that he was
not satisfied with the stories he was
telling and asked him to go to Wa
terville where they might cali New
York parties on the phone and prove
~ he were telling the truth. To this
he snnarently acquiesed asking per-

Changes are being made in the in
terror arrangement of office furnl-
ture and fixtures at Waterville po-
lice headquarters. The long oaken
desk which formerly occupied a po-
sition we'll back toward the north
wall has been moved forward about
six feet. This plan results in greater
available floor space behind the desk,
which part of the room has hereto
fore been somewhat cramped. This
disposition of the desk also brings
the entrance to the Chiefs private
office within the enclosed area,
which gives 1t the added seclusion
desirable in room Of this kind.
The desk itself is to be remodeled
after plan which promises much
Improvement. The front will proba-
ply be built up to point just below
the level of the desk attendants eyes.
with an overreaching shelf to shield
the various papers which find their
eyes The plan also includes grill
work of metal above the whole, with
an opening Similar to those seen in
banks.
Although this arrangement will
necessarily leave less room on the
outside, it is understood that persons
having business with the department
VIII be requested to step behind the
enclosure where seats will be provid-
ca Tor their comfort. Filing cases
sho other equipment will be placed
positions favorable to the con-
'enience Of the officers in charge.
