Accused of California Slaying, They sent ahead of them by air mail the necessary papers for the extradition proceedings. The most serious Seized in Framingham charge against Healey is the murder of a Japanese grocer in Los Angeles In 1930. Escaped in 1931 The authorities in Los Angeles asserted that Healey, who is 33, is wanted for various offences in that city. , Healey, according to Los Angeles Detective Lieutenants Ledbutter and Piaftbn—who say they have put in several years trying to connect Healey with the crimes—was the man who caused a sensation in the California city In 1931. As two other suspects. Paul Hayes and H. Winslow, were about to go to trial for the murder of the Japanese grocer, a man alleged by the police to be Healey, wrote to Deputy Dist Atty Richardson declaring he killed the Japanese and that if he had to "prove" his confession he would kill another Japanese so that police could compare the billets.

Charges by Governor's Coun- sel Also Aceigrilini of Tak- ing 70 Quarts of Liquor.

BOSTON, March 26 (FM—Charges of dereliction of duty win be pressed against Eugene C. Hultman, former police commissioner of Bos- ton, at the hearing on April 3 at which Governor James M. Curley will seek to oust him from his present post as metropolitan district chairman. A bill of specifications containing 19 counts and many sub-divisions was sent to Hultman's counsel, Claxence Barnes, late today by John P. Feeney, personal counsel to Governor Curley, who is to prosecute the commissioner before the Executive Council. The charges included numerous allegations of wasteful use of city equipment, time and labor on Hult- man's Duxbury estate; unlawful removal for 11.- personal use of 70 quarts of seized liquor; award of police contracts to others than the low bidders; abolition of the headquarters narcotic squad; laxity in permitting subordinates to turn in reports that were neither honest nor thorough; laxity in permitting fingerprint records and photographs of gangsters to be "surreptitiously" taken from official files; and failure to proceed against gambling establishments and houses of ill fame.
