moving Him from Office - Testimony
Did Not Warrant Findings Was
Charged With Conspiracy.

BOSTON, April 24-Joseph c. Pelle-
tier, recently removed as district attor-
ney of Suffolk county offered no defense
today when proceedings for his disbar-
ment began in the supreme court. After
counsel for the Boston Bar association
rested with the introduction of the evil
dence and decision i'll the removal pro-
ceedings, Pelletier said further word
from me would be fruitless and only put
me in the position of playing a part in
mock trial. The proceedings lasted
less than II minutes.
Mr.. Pelletier said that nothing he
could say would affect the courts deci-
sion given in the previous case. The
court. he declared, was foreclosed and
he was forejudged.
That the testimony in my other case
did not Justify the findings was the con
tention of my distinguished attorneyC
Hon. James y. Read. and | must ear
nestly so maintain today" Mr.. Pelleticr
said.
Tine credit given by you to the crooks,
libertineS and conyicts. so well described
by my attorney as the rogueS gallery,
insist was unwarranted. Their testimony
is now in evidence in this case and of
course your honor must give the same
credit to them as in the other case"
In the removal proceedings Pelletier
was charged in several instances with
conspiracy to extort large sums of money
from various persons and with having
failed to prosecute in certain instances
from improper motives.

some time under federal supervision in
connection with accredited herd work,

the first of next week. While here. DIR.
Clark has tested more than 200 herds,
100 of these being in keene and the inn
mediate vicinity. He reports that the
milk producers have. for the most part,
taken kindly to this work and that he
found general improvement where
herds were tested last year. Since max
ing tests in this section he has found
two calves, one five weeks old and the
other three months old. which, upon
post-mortem examination showed gem
eralized eases of tuberculosis. this en-
phasizing the importance of having the
entire herd tested. 1t has also come un-
der the notice of the federal authorities
that there is Il herd Of $50 head of pure
bred Guernsevs which has been tested
yearly for eight years without reactOr
being found. indicating the efficiency of
the tuberculin tests the reliability of
which has been so often questioned. DIR.
Clark said that during May Of last year,

DIR. Clark Is a firm believer in towns
and cities having some order or ordi
and is frank in saving that it makes
no difference to him whether tests are
made BY local veterinaries or those in
federal employ. so long as it is done
1t may also be remarked in this con-
nection that the ordinance of the city
of Keene requiring all milk sold in the
city to be from tuberculin tested cattle
although received with great opposition
by many cattle owners at first, is now
being looked upon by many of them
with much more favor, the owners real
