Boston Police Reform Move Backed by New Chairman
The new chairman General Martin backs reorganizing Boston police on a model as Governor Greenhalge supports his leadership. The governor deposed Commissioner Whiting, aims to reshape the commission, and may appoint a new member. The 1880s police reform law outlines a three member board with a governor designated chair. The Sheehan case advances slowly as officers await further developments and the rank and file watch for changes.
