A false burglar alarm was accidentally kept in by the Cambridge Trust Company at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Almost immediately one patrol and one prowl car in addition to a motorcycle policeman were on the scene with guns drawn.
The response to the alarm was so rapid that the headquarters police were telephoning to find out why the alarm was sent in when the others arrived. The vice-President and Treasurer of the trust company, Phippen, who happened to be outside the building, let the police in. By this time a crowd of 50 people had gathered outside expecting to see a hand-cuffed bandit brought forth.
