Hosford pardon case stirs testimony at State House hearing
Former Lieutenant-Governor Edward P. Barry testified that Edward H. Hosford, once Malden Sunday school leader, was jailed to shield a relative by marriage. Barry said the pardon board then moved to examine Hosford, leading to a pardon decision after prison visits. He recounted Hosford’s 1912 arrest for about 75 000 dollars in forged invoices and larceny. He also noted charges of pressuring the pardon board and described the Hall pardon context and conditions cited by the prison chaplain. In a separate Suffolk Superior Court session, Henry K. Mansfield faced a breach of promise case with a quip about a flirtatious letter to Miss Elizabeth Ryan.
