Sheridan Denies Charges Against Him In Boston Interview
The Irish Nationalists in Parliament accused Sergeant Sheridan of agrarian crimes in County Clare and of manipulating four men to prison. Sheridan, now living in Boston at 67 Newhall Street, denied all allegations, claiming a vindictive conspiracy and recounting his 18 years on the Irish constabulary. He says he sought a hearing for nine years, faced obstructions, and left Ireland only after being discharged. He argues he never received a secret service payout and notes his modest means and ongoing family duties.
