New Witness in Ward Case Held for Investigation
A New York man, James J. Cunningham, is jailed as a material witness in the Walter S. Ward case. Ward, a baker's son, confessed to killing Carence Peters in Bavernill, Mass, in a sensational incident. Cunningham was arrested at the Hotel McAlpin and transported here, marking his first arrest in the case that has drawn national attention since Peters' body was found near Kensup reservoir on May 15. District Attorney Weeks says Cunningham, who was unearthed via a New York paper and an anonymous letter, had provided conflicting stories and may hold more pertinent information about Ward and alleged blackmailers.
