Methods Charged In New Bedford Police Commission Hearing
A legislative committee hearing on a bill to place New Bedford under state police control heard sensational charges of corruption and vice. Attorney A. M. Goodspeed alleged a city plagued by gambling and bribery, describing the Bird Cage as a trap for innocent girls and recounting a costly Ashley dinner with Mayor Bullock present. Editor Charles G. Wood testified to vote buying but offered no specific names. Clergy and reform references were offered by Fall River’s Payson W. Lyman on police reforms enabled by commissioners.
