Two Boston attorneys—Coakley and William J. Corcoran, the latter a for- mer district attorney of Middlesex rounty-——were named in original in- formation as co-conspirators with Pelletier, and three more names were added during the progress of the trial. The latter were Irancis M. Carroll, former fire commissioner, Daniel J. Gallagher, a former assistant to Pel- letier and also a former United States district attorney, and Jack Patron, a detective. The state charged a spiracy between Coakley and Pelletier, and alleged that the others were call- ed in from time o time on specitic schemes to blackmail. In this con- nection the state called attention to cvidence that Coakley, having a large legal practice, boasted of his influ- ence with the district attorney in and out of tho presence of Pelletier, with- ont resentment hy the latter. Thus, the prosceution charged, it hecame generally known that Coakley could obtain favors from the district attor- ney which were denied others, and many were placed in Coakley's THE CAR YOU TU general con- THE TRUCK THAT The next time you have [lation here forces me fo address a flaming appeal to Sweden's govern- sisglppi senate yesterday passed a ‘ ment and people to help still more in | resolution requesting President Hard-| gonting one of the eruclest and worst ing and congress to take up with Hr; disasters in the histo of human- allies the matter of securing pos ity.
