...Serious Wrongdoing." Dodd's chief accuser was not an ethics-committee member or political enemy but a former aide of twelve years' standing, James P. Boyd Jr., 37, who said he found it "painful" to turn on his mentor. How ever, Boyd testified, he and three other disaffected members of Dodd's staff-the Senator's secretary, Marjorie Carpenter; his office manager-bookkeeper, Michael O'Hare; and an office worker, Terry Golden - came to believe that Dodd was guilty of "serious wrongdoing" and felt "a definite obligation to inform the public and the authorities...

It was brought out that Boyd and Mrs. Carpenter are both divorced, have had a "social relationship," were both fired on Dec. 7, 1964, and made their decision to expose Dodd later. O'Hare, 30, acknowledged that Miss Golden, 23, an attractive redhead, is his "girl friend," and that he did not commit himself fully to helping Boyd until after she had been dismissed last October.
