IMPOSTOR GAOLED
SYDNEY, July 27. "This man is the worst impostor I have ever come across," stated a detective in a Sydney suburban court today when a New Zealander, David Gene Davis, aged 21, was charged with having in his possession military unifprms and badges suspected of having been stolen. He was sentenced to three months' gaol. Davis was stated to have come to Australia in a ship from San Francisco, being discharged at Sydney last May. Since then he had lived on charitable organisations by pretending that his ship had been torpedoed. He had also posed as an American soldier.
