Warrenite paving dispute tied to contracts and officials
The article details a corruption case where John M. Murphy accepted a 13 000 commission from a Boston firm and distributed payments to party officials before contracts were canceled and reawarded to Warrenite rivals. Hennessy, Gov. Sulzer's investigator, halted the wasteful paving plans and reduced costs by rewording specifications. A separate note reports Charles Butler of Trumbull receiving a three month sentence in Hartford for stealing a mail box near the Trumbull line.
