PRACTICE RIGHT RESTORED
Gov. Phillip Issues Executive Order in
Case of Doctor A. r. Law
of Madison.

Madison.-Gov. Philip has entered
an executive order directing the resto-
ration to DR.. A. R. Law of Madison the
right to practice medicine in Wiscon-
SIM
This action of the executive was
taken upon the urgent request of a
large number of prominent people of
Madison and vicinity, among whom a
number of practicing physicians were
petitioners.
DR.. Law was deprived of the right to
practice his profession by Judgment
of the Circuit court of Dane county,
Judge E. Ray Stevens sitting, upon
his conviction of the crime of man
slaughter in producing death by an
illegal operation.
Upon that conviction DR.. Law was
sentenced to serve eight years in the
state prison. Later, upon petition Of
hundreds of citizens of Madison and
other cities, Gov. McGovern committed
his sentence and later DR.. Law was
paroled
On June 10 last Gov Philip grant
ed pardon to restore the doctor to
citizenship. At that time the governor
was urged to restore to him the right
to practice but did not do so.
Following that, however, petitions
were renewed and it was urged and
believed by many that the order of
restoration to citizenship in effect re-
voked the order of the court denying
the right to practice.
