Cambridge Perjury Probe Sparks City Hall Firestorm
A Cambridge political firestorm erupts as indictments and sensational arrests target alleged illegal voter registration and possible false testimony. Police Sergeant Gordon faces accusations of obtaining money under false pretenses and coaching witnesses, while Alderman Lynch and others urge hearing and dismissal if proven. A key witness Lavin, a convicted perjurer, and Mary A. Doherty corroborate pressure and coercion, prompting mayor Daly to order formal charges and a public hearing.
