STERN. THE LAWYER. IN COURT
The first Dental prosecution was
aEainAi me tthe goat. I vas the first
Dentist who was ever arrested in this
state after they had been examined once.
and had another examination pending.
but when my case was called and ready
for trial Mr. Stern and his assistant. and
the president Of the Dental Combine and
his assistant. came over from SPOKANE
and Dr. George Striker was down from
Everett. In fact, all the warriors re-
spouded TO the call and were present to
behold the failure Of Lawyer Stern. be-
cause his complaint was faulty. and the
case vas dismissed ten minutes after the
jury was empanelied. About two weeks
later Mr.. Stern as Dental So
ciety lawyer began the trials
o. about twenty more Dental
prosecutions. all Of which were dismissed
for the same reason as my first case
Yet Mr.. Stern Is a brilliant lawyer. And
after this, Mr.. Stern started twenty more
suits and all we're dismissed because Of
similar defects In all. there we're about
eighty arrests Of Dentists hut only seven
or eight convictions were had. and our
supreme court reversed about half OF
those. yet Mr. Stern Is an eminent law
yer.
In trying Or T.ittccy's case. the doctor
claimed that he should be allowed TO
take an examination. and MIR stern ar
Eued TO the court. saying: "Iet Iiftooy
go bark 10 Idaho. he has n license there
and we do not want him here" We do
not want to give him an examination
let him 30 hack 90 Idaho. and Mr. stern
Is brilliant lawyer
when Or. A. X. Longs case was called
Tor trial Mr.. stern said. "if the court
please. We Will dismiss DIR. Longs case"
l said; stern. why don't you try DIR
Iongs" And Stern said. why DR. Long
does not do enough Dental business 90
hurt anybody" And AIR. Stern is a bril-
liant lawyer.
Dr A. b. stne OF Spokane. now In
Portland. testified In 1905 that stern said
TO him; "Nou can go ahead aud practice
Doctor: are not after such as you, we
are after the large offices. in large cities
who advertise In the newspapers and we
are going 20 make life enc hell on earth
Tor them before we get through" And
Mr.. stern u a brilliant lawyer.
Next Mr. Stern sued the Dental Board
for about two thousand five hundred
lss.bee.ool dollars (for his feesl. And
know that he earned the money be-
cause ! made him earn u. He had a re-
eelver appointed for tho Dental Board
and the Dental Combine had to pay stern
about ten dollars for every dollar that
was paid ny Dentists IN fines. and Mr.
stern ana the Dental Combine cost the
taxpayers Of King county about ten thou
sand tslo,0o0l dollars besides And Mr.
stern is brilliant lawyer
After MIR Stern had receiver ap-
pointed FOR the Dental Board (and he got
money instead OF the love that he was
working forl. l had forRotten about
the gentleman until read about him
in his own article in the Spokane Inland
Herald" where. we are informed that he
lie detving into mysteries OF India. Mr.
Stern wri es n four-column article In
which he pays me a great honor. and at
the same time. Acknowledges that IL is
tho Dental Combine that wants to get

ious charges against me IN his brilliant
article from India. Next week | shall
