Supreme Court Denies Review In Curley Case
The Supreme Court refused a second time to review the mail fraud conviction of Boston Mayor James M. Curley. The denial clears the way for renewed Justice Department efforts to jail the 72 year old mayor, who is ill in a Scituate hospital with hypertension caused by arteriosclerosis. The charges stem from Engineers Group Inc. operations in wartime, claiming about $60,000 by falsely pledging war contracts.
