In certain circles in Lynn and other places in
Essex county, owing to the discovery by the
police of a list of 500 femsies who have been
victims OF malpractice. The discovery was
made in searching the house Of doctor in
Lynn, who Is now under arrest for malprac-
tice. The papers certify in highly singular
and original manner that the owners Of the
said names bad been the doctors victims in
malpractice, and give their places of residence,
with the day and date Of action. Notwith-

having done anything illegal, not realizing,
doubtless that the authorities have secured
written evidence wherein he cohvicts himself.

made in the criminal annals of Lynn in con.
nection with the crime of malpractice.
