Medfield Asylum Trustees Removed by Executive Council
The Massachusetts Governor and Executive Council remove Herbert M. Federhen and Jeremiah Murphy from the Medfield Insane Asylum board of trustees. Ira G. Hersey and William C. Blaney are appointed to replace them, with letters exchanged and fallout over the proceedings and access to the removal decision. A writ of removal (supersedeas) is served to enforce the action.
