PHYSICIAN
IN BOSTON
INVOLVED
BY EXPOSE
Death of Doctors Assistant FOL-
lowed by Charges Of Plot to
Lure Women.

BOSTON. Jan "A drug scandal
reaching into the highest social cir
cles Of suburban Boston has been
brought to light through investiga-
tion of the Christmas Eve party
which eliminated in the death o.
pretty Grace Logue in the apart
ment of DIR. Michael M. Stevens in
Woburn.
So startling is the information OBJ
tanned by girl friends of Miss Logue
that the original object OF the inquiry
has been overshadowed.
Painting a picture of a ring Of drug
addicts who marked young women of
beauty. wealth and position as their
especial prey. these witnesses have
irade free mention OF heretofore
respected names.
Among those already involved in
the fast-widening scandal are promin-
ent physicians and dentists Of Wo-
burn, Maiden. Medford, and Everett,
as well as others high in Boston bust.
ness and professional life.
Drug addicts themselves, the meni-
bers Of this vicious circle, have de-
voted themselves assiduously to re-
cruiting new victims. Stories told by
the several iris whom Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Blood has interviewed
indicate the ring" had veritably
standardized seduction.
Plan Used to Lure Girls.
The first move. 1t appears. has been
to invite the victim to q slightly in
formal gathering, at which not dope
but drinks superinduced gayety. The
true habits of the ring" usually have
been held in the background until,
through attendance at all.night
alienated from her people.
Adrift, the girl whose parents had
disowned her, was easily persuaded to
try something that makes one for
get"
Once the victim became an addict
there was no more assembling. She
became regular" at parties i'm
possible to describe in print.
Along with stories of the tragic
Christmas Eve party Mr.. Blood has
been told Of another gathering at
which Miss Logue was present several
weeks ago.
Victim Leaps from Window.
This affair was staged in Woburn,
too. At its climax a young womah,
who described herself as Miss Helen
Mccormick, jumped from a window 10
escape the embrace of one Of the two
men who were the hosts of the even
ing. Miss Logue remained in the
place.
The district attorneys office has
been informed that DIR. Stevens, ar
rested the day after Miss Logue's
bruised body was found in his home,
and now at liberty on his own recogni-
gance, was engaged to marry the girl.
She recently had been his office rs
sistant. A beautiful solitaire which she
wore is asserted to have been his gilt
to her. The marriage. according 10
Mr.. Blood's information, was to ha, e
taken place after the completion Of DR..
Stevens divorce proceedings.
Relatives of Miss Logue, led by her
mother and a sister, insist the girl was
a victim of foul play. They demand
her body be exhumed. District Attor-
ney Saltonstall has inclined to the
theory that Miss Loguc died Of an
overdose Of morphine.
