The judges OF the appellate division OF
the Supreme Court were called upon this
morning TO say whether or not DR.. Gas
psrd Boucher was legally elected TO the
office of physician OF the 81. Jean Batlste
Society OF Central Falls. The case came
up on Information fled by the Attorney
General of the State, and Hugh j. Carroll
appeared for that official.
The bylaws OF the society require that
candidate for membership must De en-
dorsed by five members, who have known
him for six months. Boucher was rec
ommended to the society Dy five bers,
but two Of them notified the society that
when they signed his recommendation
they did not know the bylaws required
them TO have known him for SIX
months. A protest was made against bis
election, but he was voted In, and at the
same meeting. which was the one at
which the officers Of the society were
elected for the ensuing year, he was
elected TO the office of physician. pro-
test to his election to this office was made
at the meeting. Ambrose Choquet APP
peared for the society and Mr..
Carroll argued that the election
of DIR. Boucher was void and that the for
mer holder Of the office, DIR. Beaudrey,
was still entitled to the emoluments OF
the Office. The latter amounts TO con-
siderable as there are 600 members In the
organization, and the society physician
receives one dollar and half year for
each of them.
