Structural and dynamic properties of the molecular glass KBr1-x (CN)X are reported. The low temperature state can be characterized as an averaged crystal, where clusters of correlated frozen-in CN- ions yield a distribution of frozen-in lattice strains which destroy the rigorous center-of-mass periodicty of the high temperature phase. The freezing process measured via cusps in the dipolar and quadrupolar susceptibilities is a relaxional phenomenon and depends sensitively on the timescale of the experiment.
