Captain Ham's Case Shifts to Mandamus for Restoration
The Boston Supreme Court previously ruled Captain William A Ham unlawfully removed from chief inspector of police. Judge William Alea ordered a mandamus forcing police commissioners to recognize Captain Ham as head of the inspector's department. Counsel for Captain Ham argued headquarters could vote to resume control, with charges to follow and a chance for Ham to defend. If charges are sustained the court may reinstate him, and Ham would receive back salary during displacement.
