Sensational hearing on Shaw case before Mayor Curley
In Boston this morning Mayor Curley will hear charges against Penal Institutions Commissioner David G. Shaw brought by Attorney William R. Scharton. Scharton intends to present extensive evidence from five former Deer Island House of Correction inmates alleging brutality and indignities by Shaw and officers. Additional witnesses, including other former inmates, are expected to testify. The hearing may be continued at Deer Island, with the city to provide books showing commitments, discharges, and solitary confinement terms. Evidence aims to challenge Shaw’s fitness for office and to show possible violations of city solitary confinement rules.
