Group Sought to Attack In

Interpreted as Aimed at Pei

Cambridge, Mass, June eat
torney General ]. Weston Allen
recipient of the honorary degree Of
Doctor Of Laws at Harvard Univer-
sity's 2S4th commencement exercises
today. told the Alumni this afternoon
of an alleged plot by which three
justices of the Massachusetts
Supreme Court were to have been
indicted in an effort to incapacitate
the court at a time when it was to
sit in judgment on those who were
charged with corruption"
Mr.. Allen was impersonal, but his
hearers interpreted his remarks as
concerning his recent successful eff
forts to remove Joseph C. Pelletier as
district attorney of Suffolk county
and Nathan A. Tufts from the same
office in Middlesex county. Both men
were removed after extended hear
ings before the Supreme court.
The plan in part failed or was
abandoned" Mr.. Allen said, "but it
was sinister attempt to undermine
the faith of the people in the in
tesrity of the courts, a yelled at
tempt upon the government itself"
He recalled, indirectly that an in
dlctment was obtained against Su-
preme Court Justice Edward P.
Pierce. The charge was conspiracy
The charge was conspiracy to de-

rights.
When the arm of the law was
raised to prevent the further pros
titution of public offices, Mr.. Allen
said, those who had collected tri-
butte for persecution of the innocent
and protection of the guilty, under
the impulsion of impending exposure
and punishment, dared to assail the
government itself. The indictments
obtained against a justice of the SUI
preme court and charges against
others We're not directed against
them as individuals. The plan was
to procure indictments of three mem
bers of the supreme court, and so
if possible, destroy confidence in the
prosecution and incapacitate the
high court which was to sit in judg-
ment on those who were charged
with corruption.
folled in their purpose to prevent
trial, overwhelmed by the evidence
produced against them of corruption
and eXtortion, silent before their ac-
cusers, these men have weakly en-
deavorcd to claim bias on the part
of the court Stripped of their Of
flee, they are bereft of their power
and influence, which was built upon
patronage and rested upon fear.
The wanton attack on the iudic-
larry has spent its force and the court,
by its impartial and dispassionate
decisions, has grown in the conf
dence and esteem of the people"
Attorney General Allen shared the
attention of the Alumni with Presi-
dent A. Lawrence Lowell who talked

Two Lost Lives
In Autos Plunge

Newmarket, n. H., June 22.-Posi-
tive knowledge that there were but
two people in the car which last night
plunged through the railing of the
bridge over the Lamprey river here
and dropped into the water below,
causing the death of Fred E. Sanborn,
member of the state lecisla ture and
his companion Philias Boucher, both
of this town, has resulted from a
check up of those who We're at first
thought to have been in the accident.
Search is still being continued for
Bouchers body further down the river,
as it is believed to have gone over the
falls here carly today. The swollen
condition of the river due to the heavy
rains of the past week is making the
search extremely difficult. Sanborn's
body was found entangled in the
wreckage of the machine when it was
raised today. Sanborn is survived by
a widow while Boucher leaves six
children.
