Three candidates for Saugus trial judge amid bribery claim
Complainant Joseph G. Bryer accuses Brady of taking a $200 bribe via a Parker House envelope to influence the appointment of a new Saugus trial justice. Brady says he was framed and can prove an alibi but admits acting as messenger for a man claiming to be Harris. Judge Ludden and Bryer deny the plot, while Cunningham defends Brady’s integrity amid Democratic suspicions of a frame-up.
