DOCTOR UNDER FIRE WAS INTERNE HERE
 ---
 Donald ". Stewart v .s,sas..
 Britain Hospital O.> zs z ALLOWED TO WITHDRAW
Man Who Says He Is Physician Gave Testimony Which Conflicts With Record-Grand Jury Investigation May Be Held.

1 Dr. Donald W. Stewart of Broad ] Brook, who is under investigation by 1 the states attorneys office because, it is alleged. he fraudulently acquired certificate to practice medicine in Connecticut, was dropped from the list of internes of the New Britain General hospital after probation ary period of about two months, ac- cording to information given the Herald" today.
 ! Dr. Stewart. who is a former vice 1 president of the Connecticut Eclectic Society, came to New Britain on September 14. 1921. from Richmond, Va. His credentials and diploma ap- peared to be above suspicion and he was taken on by Dr. J. c. Henry who was medical director at that time. Mrs. Stewart, who came a few days later, was trained nurse of~excep- tional ability and joined the nursing staff, becoming in & very short time the headsof a department. No criti- cism ever was made about Mrs. Stew art, who according to pr. r. E.. Reeks. the superintendent. was q. re- markedly good nurse, but her hus- band in some manner failed to make good and was dropped.
 Dr. Reeks when interveiwed today was reluctant to say that Dr. Stewart had been dismissed because he did not make good or that his qualifica- made the following statement:
 "Dr. Stewart was allowed to with draw from the hospital on December i, after a due tryout." It is known however, that officials notified Dr. Stewart that he would be allowed to withdraw but that he was given un- til December 1. as a reasonable notiee."
 Passes Connecticut Ta,t
 Dr. Stewart Is alleged to havo failed in an examination held by the West Virginia board of medical examiners in January, 1921. Tho following July 13 he passed the Connecticut state Board of Eclectic medical examiners. When he tried to take the oxamina- ton in West Virginia he was given in the bulletin of the Federation of State Medical Boards Of the United States as a graduate of the Southern college of medicine and surgery at Atlanta, Georgia, In 1914. Six months later he swore before the Connecticut board that he was graduate of the Atlantic Eclectic Medical college in 1914, it is claimed.
