Massachusetts Judge delays testimony in New Hampshire crime probe
A Massachusetts superior court judge recessed the case until February 14 as an assistant attorney general may testify before a New Hampshire grand jury investigating organized crime. Massachusetts officials say informants’ names are needed, but were not provided due to safety fears. The inquiry allegedly spilled over from Massachusetts to New Hampshire, with both states sharing information. The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston reports 1.7 million checks cleared daily in 1967, up 8 percent from 1966, totaling over 144 billion dollars in check volume.
