It was while in .Maggie that the talkative "officer" began re lating some of his World H ar II experiences to a forrr?r Col onel of the Marine Corps. The "Navy" man madr one big blun der?perhaps having heard the expression. "Tell it to the Ma rine*"?as he discussed the effi ciency of a certain Naval officer whose name was often In the news during World War II. The former Marine Colonel listened in silence as the visitor talked, talked and talked. Then the former Marine officer very cas ually reminded the man that he was a personal friend of the Naval officer just discussed, and none of the farts brought out were true. I'pon investigation it was found that the "Naval officer" did not have a checking account in the Washington bank on which he had given checks and further more that instead of serving in the Navy during World War il. had been drafted into the Army and had served in that branch. lie later told the Sheriff, who had picked him up on suspicion. that h?f was a mechanical engin eer but conld not find a job. The Sheriff promised to ret him a job within 30 minutes if he wopld rive him his proper recommen dations. About that time three North Carolina towns called in that thej wanted the man on ehartes of passinr worthless checks, and officials from Charlotte. Winston Salem. Washington and Gastonia. plus several places in Tenness ee and Virrtnia are anxious to ret the man back in their courts for trial on similar charres. Meanwhile Sheriff Campbell is holding the man awaitinr the re turn of the checks given here from the bank, at which time formal charges will be entered. Sheriff Campbell further found upon investigation that instead of bring a Naval officer as the man has claimed, he is a former car nival worker and barker for side j shows. Deputy Gene Howell said that the man. Peter M. Edward, had admiled he started passing bad j checks back in -1936. Yesterday a doctor from Win ston-Salem was here talking to officers that the man had given their residence address, which had caused them considerable an noyance. Deputy Howell also said that the man had used an oil company cdurtesy card made out to <r Charlotte woman who had de nied giving permission for the card to be used.
