The Middlesex grand jury reported 56 indictments and four no bills to Judge Chase in the Superior Criminal Court East Cambridge yesterday afternoon. Among the indictments are six for murder in the first degree and about six for assault with intent to murder.
Indictments charge Michael J. Collins of Somerville with the Christmas Day death of his brother in law J. M. McLaughlin at 36 Linwood Street Somerville. Police say a quarrel led to a razor slash and McLaughlin died en route to hospital. Also charged are Watertown men Vincenzo Ristagno Tommaso Fittante Luisi Ligaro Gabriele Lepere and Francesco Falbo in the killing of Francesco Cirillo at the IOood Rubber Company East Watertown.
A strike at the plant on November 17 led to Cirillo’s death after quarrelsome followers tracked him home. Five men face charges of assault with intent to murder Francesco Iozzi at the plant. Angelo Bartabo faces a separate assault with intent to murder Marianna Marconi in Waltham on December 28. A unique count includes Mary Welsh alias Minnie L Charter for breaking and entering. Robert H MacFawn of Derby Desk Company is indicted in ten counts for larceny totaling $3664.20.
Raymond B. Ladoo of Leominster, a junior, reported his coat pocket searched while at work in the chemical laboratory at Dane Hall. More than 25 dollars in valuables were stolen, including 18 dollars cash, an 8 dollar mileage book, and a collection of names and private correspondence. Police believe a university insider committed the theft. The coat had been checked in the lab coat room guarded by a check boy with only laboratory workers nearby.
Walter F. Curtis of Scituate petitions Land Court to settle title to land formerly owned by Stephen Vinal. He contends sea erosion has swallowed up property and that dwellings used by massers sit on land he rightfully owns. Mrs. Annie E. Brown and Mary T. Supple support the sea gobbling claim.
The article notes long term occupation of beach shanties by residents at Scituate spanning over 50 years. If Curtis wins his claim, Browns could lose supplies and property valued around $26,000. Earlier records show 1722 conveyance of a one and a half acre marsh strip by Susannah and Elizabeth Chittenden to Stephen Vinal, with the land described as marsh and beach debris.
Curtis claims four acres of land descend from Issachar Vinal but Brown and Supple contend the shore has absorbed land since 1792 and 1809 transfers. They cite the 1909 Christmas storm that swept 50 feet of shore and an annual erosion of about two and a half feet, altering the lot toward only one half acre.
