CHARGES AGAINST DR. LAMB
RESULT or MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
 COMMITTEES INVESTIG ATIoN.

Report Thereon Submitted at a Meeting of the Association Held Last Night Committees Recommendation for n Rebuise of the oTending Physician Adopted by n Vote of 2s-I5 After an Animated Discussion.
 The New Haven Medical association met last night to act on the charges of unprofessional conduct preferred against Dr. c. s. Lamb. The meeting was held in the associations rooms in the Young Mems Institute building and was largely attended. A report, which is printed in full below, was pre- scented by the prudential committee which had charge of the investigation of the charges. The presentation of the report was followed by an animat- ed discussion of the contents thereof, and finally was adopted by vote of 28 to 15.
 The report in full is as follows:
 THE REPORT. To the New Haven Medical Associa-
 tion:
 Report of the Prudential Committee.
 The prudential committee, to whom, at the last regular meeting of this as- sociation, were referred the charges against Dr. c. s. Lamb, have the hon. or to report as follows:
 Feeling that the charges involved g. grave breach of morals and public de- cency, in that a deliberately planned and malicious insult had been offered to most eminent and respected citi- zen of New Haven, who had incurred the animosity of the criminal classes by his self-sacrificing labors for the enforcement of law and the promotion of social order, and that, prima facie, Dr. Lamb had taken part in this of- fence, your committee at the earliest possible moment invited Dr. Lamb to meet them in the sincere hope that he would make some statement by way of explanation.
 The result of that meeting is partly contained in the following letter sent immediately afterward:
 New Haven, June 22, 1898. Dr. c. S. Lamb
 ear sir: I write for the prudential committee of the Medical association to express the hope that you will act promptly upon the advice offered to you in this evenings interview. That was. as you will remember, 1st, that you should render to the Rev. Dr. Smyth the same full disclaimer and apology in the matter of the birth cer- tificates that you made to the commit tee this evening; 2d, that you lose no time in publicly making any statement which may tend to remove the preva- lent impression that you are on friendly terms with the woman whose estab- lishment is now in question before the board of health or that there was any thing worse than culpable indifference on your part, in making out the birth certificates as you did.
 AS 1t appears by your own account that you have suffered by this wo- mans making you the unconscious tool of her insolent malice, it is not to be supposed that you will hesitate to clear yourself of any complicity in her misconduct in this way.
 l am not authorized to speak for the Rev. Dr. Smyth, and cannot say how he would receive the apology proposed. I know him, however, for high mind- ed gentleman, and if had been so un- fortunate as to give him cause of of- fence should, so far as the case would allow, act upon the plan recommended to you by the prudential committee this evening. Very respectfully,
 Signed F. Bacon.
 To this letter, after three days, the following reply was received
 June 25, '9S. Dr. Francis Bacon:
 Dear sir: Thanking the prudential committee very kindly for the advice offered to me as stated in yours of the 22d inst, beg leave to respond to the same as follows:
 Charges affecting my character as a, gentleman physician and member oN the New Haven Medical association ard now lying against me before the asso- ciation; until the association has acted upon the same, I consider it undignifi- ed and improper to do anything other
