Hearing Reveals View of Gov Council on Brown Case
Former Lieutenant-Governor Edward P. Barry testified before the legislative committee on rules about last year’s Governor’s Council and E Gerry Brown. He said some council members believed Brown took $100 from a money lender for no legitimate service and questioned Brown’s sanity. Barry recounted testimonies on a New York loan sharks’ favors and falsified books, and noted doctors’ mixed statements on a woman’s responsibility. He also said a majority of the council believed the woman’s story, while attempts to locate her husband failed. Barry indicated he questioned the wisdom of the probe yet supported a broader inquiry if improper influence existed. John A Whipple praised Brown and urged an investigation in a Brockton bank letter to the Senate.
