before he sailed for Europe on Saturday
DR.. Whitman legslated out OF ONCE as
coroner's physician by the reduction OF the num-
Der OF coroners for Richmond. and in accordance
with the act he was placed on the preferred
pended list by the Municipal Civil Service Com
mission, and was certified TO the Manhattan Board

contended that the law providing for coroner s
