Bribes Alleged to Influence Votes in 25th District
Startling reports at Stratford Convention Hall claim public service interests offered payments to sway votes against Senator Stiles Judson. A Fairfield county attorney with delegate influence was courted in New Haven for at least 5000 annually, while a small town delegate near Fairfield was offered 6000 to 12000 for a yes against Judson. Another northern Bridgeport area delegate faced a cash bonus for opposing Judson today. Judson is aware, and a formal investigation is being considered to verify the claims.
