Freed Indicted Again in Boston Rock Show Riot
New York disc jockey Alan Freed was indicted by the Suffolk county grand jury for a May 3 riot at the Boston Arena during his Big Beat show. Over 6 000 attendees left into the South End as more than 15 spectators were assaulted or robbed. The latest indictment, a misdemeanor under common law, follows a prior felony indictment. Freed, awaiting surrender on the first charge, has a Stamford Connecticut home and was urged to turn himself in by District Attorney Garrett H. Byrne.
