Boston firm under investigation over fraud cleared for receivership
Boston based commodities firm Lloyd, Carr and Co sold between 25 and 27 million dollars worth of options in the last year, per attorney F Lee Bailey. Judge Tauro expanded the receivership to include Alan Abrahams, alias James A Carr, firm president, as assets were placed under court control. In Manchester New Hampshire a 35 year old woman Susan Hughes has pleaded innocent to first degree murder of her father. Bail was denied and she remains jailed with trial date TBA. Her defense may hinge on an insanity plea following psychiatric exams.

Gallen launches bid for New Hampshire governor
Hugh J. Gallen, 53, Littleton car dealer and former Democratic national committeeman, announced his third run for governor of New Hampshire. He criticized Gov. Meldrim Thomson for inattention to state issues and proposed limiting tax tools while opposing sales and income taxes.
