Pelletier as district attor- E ney of Suffolk county, hearings in H whose case started today before the I Supreme Judicial Court, is asked by I ; Attorney General J. Weston Allen on I | the general charge that Pelle ier'3 1 continued incumbency is "inimical to the public interest." Two sets of I charges against the district attorney, j as well as a petition for his disbari mcnt have been tiled. In the original charge, Pelletier is I alleged to have aided in extolling or j attempted to extort money or propi erty from ccrtnin persons by threats 1 of prosecution. The attorney gener; al alleges that the district attorney | procured indictments that ought not to have been procured; that he failed ; i j from improper motives to prosecute ; in specified eases and that he permitted persons to use his office in j coercing other persons to release or j settle civil claims. ? The first charges, submitted on Oc- I tober 27 last, contain 35 specifica- 1 tions. Some of these are items taken 1 from a petition of the grievance com-j| mittee of the Boston Bar Association; I others weri formulated by the nt-;| torney general. Some are virtual'yll the same as those on which Mr. Allen IR is seeking the disbarment of Daniel Q II. Coakley of Boston, an attorney, jl who was mentioned frequently in the I g proceedings that resulted in the re-: I moval last fall of Nathan A. Tufts jQ as district attorney of Middlesex; jj county. " The second set of charges against I Pelletier, filed Nov. 21, resulted from i a speech lie made when a candidate for mayor. In this speech, as read i by Allen before the Supreme Court, j the district attorney was quoted as I saying that he would nolle procosqui the case of anyone who would "back 111^' limit,ll fll.if Un / !?. i tended to resign. Attorney General Allen's petition alleged that the acts of Pelletier as district attorney since November 1.3, 11)00, when he took office, down to the i date of filing the charges, show him to be unfit to hold office. It charges 1 that Pelletier conducted his office in . an "unlawful and reprehensible manner." Pelletier is said in the petition to have failed from improper motives to prosecute Merrill W. Shute after Shute's indictment on the charge of i embezzling $15,000 from Emma F. Brackett of Bangor, Me. Coakley and William J. Corcoran, a , former district attorney of Middlesex . county, are named as among those r with whom Eblleticr is alleged to " have conspired. Mr. Allen charges ' that the district attorney conspired I with Coakley and others to extort $20,500 from the Emerson Motors r Co., to procure the abandonment of j threatened criminal prosecution, t Pelletier is further charged with having conspired with Coakley to atk tempt to extort $10,000 from Warren C. Daniel, a dealer in securities, by e threat of prosecution. Conspiracy is 1 charged also in the case of Dorothy ^ Cote who, it is alleged, was forced to abandon a suit for conversion of an automobile by similar threats. Conspiracy to frighten Albert T. Smith into paying $.37,500 as alimony to his wife, Agnes L. Smith, and abandonment of prosecution against Smith after the money was paid, also are charged. In this connection, th ? attorney general alleges that onehalf the $37,'00 alimony was claimed by Coakley as a contingent fee. , When these charges were first filed, | Pelletier asserted that Mr. Allen had! I acii'u to discredit ms candidacy for 11 I mayor, which he was planning to | make public the next day. Pelletier j \vithtdrew from the mayoralty rai e , on December 2. ; On November 23, Pelletier attacked < | as unconstitutional the statute under ^ which the original proceedings were brought, contending that inasmuch as * he had been elected to office he was * removable only through impeachment ? proceedings. Tie said the law giving 4 a majority of Supreme Court jus- ^ tices the power to remove a distriet attorney after a bearing conflicted | with the 14th amendment to the Fed- * eral constitution. He petitioned th< f court for a writ of prohibition reI ining further .to' ?or. on the original information. Two -lays later Justice De Courcy ruled that the court was without jurisdiction to issue such a writ and dismissed the petition.
