DR.. ROY
Is STILL
FIGHTING.
Battle Over Certificate 10 Prac-
tICe Medicine Carried to
Supreme Court

Chief Justice stiness and Justices Til
linghast and Rogers today heard the case
of State Board of Health va. DIR. Joseph
Roy on defendants motion to quash the
proceedings, not only because the board
acted beyond IT'S jurisdiction. but for the
equally important reason that the state
board acted both as prosecutor and judge
in the case.
Clarence a. Aldricb, OF counsel for DR..
Roy. early at todays hearing said Thorn
as Y. Lee. at the hearings before the
board, acted as prosecutor of Dr. Roy at
the sessions OF the board as counsel for
the same board. Mr.. Lee did not deny
the statement.
The main charge against Or. Roy was
that he presented a diploma 10 the state
board OF health. diploma granted by
Laval University as he said, 10 himself,
but which the board says was, i'm fact,
granted To another person, one Joseph
Napoleon Roy.
Mr.. Aldrich i'm his argument dwelt
sharply on the arbitrary action Of the
board and on its manifest unfair action
OF hiring counsel TO prosecute a case that
was TO come before and be passed upon
Dy tne bOdrd. lucidcntally the bOaTu
charged that DR. Roy was not a capable
person TO practice medicine and that IL
was dangerous TO so permit him To prac-
tice. DIR. Roy is resident OF Burrillville
and has been elected to public office
many times.
The motion 10 quash the proceedings
was based on the following grounds: Be
cause the board had no jurisdiction OF
the cause. for the reason that the charge
does not amount 10 grossly unprofessional
conduct of a character To deceive or de-
fraud the public. Because the beard never
found the charge against him 10 be true.
and without such finding the board had
no authority 20 revoke his certificate.
Because the statute giving the state
board of health right TO revoke a Doctors
certificate is unconstitutional.
Mr.. Lee ia support of the state board
of health argued that the action of the
board OF health was correct i'm every de-
tail. that the charges were such as 10
fully Justify the action taken and that
there SHOULD be Tfo .such thing done IA ia
quash it's action. The conduct OF DIR. Roy
Mr.. Lee maintained. made the case one
more like criminal one than a civil one.
lie maintained that the appellants arRu-
ment as 60 constitufionality of the act
under which the board revoked Dr.Roy's
certificate was very weak one.
lie case was held for advisement. Am
