Charges Against Suffolk District Attorney Pelletier Detailed

The Supreme Judicial Court hears two sets of charges against Jo oh C. Pelletier of Suffolk County alleging misconduct in office. The attorney general accuses him of aiding extortion attempts and improper prosecutions, plus a push for disbarment. Also charged are conspiracies with Daniel E. Coakley and others to extort money from Emerson Motors and Warren C. Daniel, and threats against Elizabeth Chase Lamer and others to influence alimony and prosecutions. Pelletier contends the proceedings seek to end his mayoral candidacy and questions the court’s jurisdiction. Pelletier has served as Suffolk district attorney since 1908, after filling the term of the late John J. McPon.
