Thomasville Chief Seeks Lie Detector in Theft Case
Thomasville Chief E R Richardson released copies of two letters to the city council and to Walter F Anison director of the state Bureau of Investigation asking for a private inquiry and the use of a lie detector to solve the theft of 3800 in court funds from the police chief's office between March 12 and 14. The letters dated April 19 say SBI and FBI were called in and that Richardson has not received a lie detector. He says the case should be settled to remove reflections on the department.
