New England Watch and Ward Leader Clashes Over Prosecutions
At a hearing J Frank Chase challenged a representative and criticized the district attorney’s office. He claimed the New Zingland Watch and Ward Society had more prosecutions recently than federal authorities. Major Wright said his Northeastern department handled about 900 cases with 30 prosecutions, mostly young women returned to families. He argued the federal aim is pressuring vice, not punishing offenders and said actions were via local cooperation. Senator Cavanagh noted concerns about innocent girls convicted in Boston courts. Chase replied those not appealing faced unresolved or dropped sentences.
