Boston, Jan. 4.—The supreme court today ruled against three motions made by counsel for District Attorney Joseph C. Pelletier in hi trial on charges of misconduct which Attor- ney General J. Weston Allen had ad- vanced reasons for his removal from office. The proceedings, the court holds, are of a civil rather than a criminal nature. As such depositions may be taken. The inimediate effect of this ruling will be taken by the attorney general by obtaining a deposition of Mrs. Agnes L., Roehl of St. Louis, for use in connection with the allegation that Pelletier conspired with Daniel H. Coakley, an attorney, and others to frighten her husband, Albert Smith, by threats of criminal pros cution into paying her $37,000 ali- mony. The court denied a motion hy coun- sel for the district attorney to strike out certain paragraphs which made alternative charges. The charges as stated were held to be sufficient in law and the court held also that the motion came too lat.e In dismissing another motion that the attorney general be required forthwith to elect which of the alter- native charges he would proceed on, the court said it acted without preju- dice and that counsel might renew the motion after evidence had closed.
