Says He Doesn't Think He Has Been
Fairly Treated.
HIS Answer 10 the Story Sent From Bos-
ION Concerning Hin.

DIR. julius A. Pirlot is of the opinion
that he has not been impartially treated
during his recent trouble by the press OF
this city. IL has been intimatcd that he
Is not a reputable physician, that no had
been guilty Of unprofessional conduct IN
Boston and that he had transgrcssed the
law in this city in more than one respect.
The doctor who is a fine appearing and
well educated man naturally feels that
such charges, based upon the testimony of
unreliable persons, is unj just. In speaking OF
the case in court where he was charged
with practicing without a certificate, he
saysthe Judge ignored the tetimony that ho
gave his professional sevices without COM
pensation and according TO the law, which
every lawyer knows plainly states, that
the offence is not committed If the sor-
vices of the physician are given without
charge. DIR. Pirlot says that he did not
charge the patent for what he had done IN
the particular case for which he was tried
and pronounced guilty in the Common
Pleas Court a few days ago. He also says
that the chief witness against him was
cx-policeman Nettleton who was dis
charged from the police force for conduct
unbecoming an officer. This case has been
appealed and DR. Pirlot says he is sure OF
being acquitted i'm the Appellate Court
when he gets u fair trial and all the testi-
mony is considered.
Referring 90 the charge Of maintaining
q liquor nuisance he says that the neigh
bors arc not aware that his drug store is
anything of the kind, that he lives with
his wife over the store and that the place
Is orderly and law abiding. Speaking OF
the charge of selling liquor illegally. he
said that he had never sold liquor in his
store only as medicine. Ii "A man came
into his place with the bclly-ache he gave
him medicine for IL, perhaps brandy, per-
appeared To be good for the particular all
ment He did not sell liquor and he did
not maintain disordcrly place.
Speaking of the record as sent from
Boston, DR. Pirlot said that was merely
persecution. Two rival doctors in that
city had maintained systematic perse-
cution and they had circulated false
statements TO accomplish their ends. One
of these doctors had some influence with
the papers and he had managed to get "A
misleading, entirely false and malicious
article printed that placed him in II very
disagreeable position. The Boston news
paper article stated that he was wanted
in Boston and that ho had disappeared
suddenly after IA case against him had
been tried. That was false. He came
To Providence and started business here i'm
good faith because he wanted To escape
from miserable persecution In Boston.
Everyone who cared to know, knew that
no came To this city from Boston and all
his mail was forwarded from that city to
this, there was no secrecy about it. He
had treated woman, the wife of Gilbert
Baldwin, who had been injured in AN
accident. She was cured and after waiting
to get his pay for services rendered he
sued the husband. Finding that he could
not successfully combat the powerful in
fuence against him, and that he was
liable to become involved in large court
expense, he abandoned the case and the
city. Mr.. Baldwin owed him then and
owes him now 800. He never claimed
that he was graduate of Paris medical
college. He was regularly graduated
physician, however, and exhibited Q
Masonic certificate To show that he was q
recognized physician in the place where
he was made Mason. "You know, said
he, "they are very particular about such
things and the diploma would not have
been made out SO, IL IL was not true. y
The doctor also stated that he came &c
Providence in 1886, and was teacher OF
French in school of that language in
the Butter Exchange for some time. He
then went 10 WoonsocSet and taught
French having some of tho best people oi
that city for students He exhibited q
letter OF recommendation from the late
Daniel B. Pond, who was mayor of tho
city. Tho letter recommended DIR. Pirlot
very highly AS n competent teacher and
trustworthy man. After leaving Woon-
socket he returned to this city and then
went to Boston, and the doctor concluded,
"This Is the bad record left behind me.
