BOyLES SUSPENDED
z YEARS BY JUDGE
Alabama Attorney, Linked
With Fraud Case, Still
Faces Rum Charge.


MOBILE, Ala. July 3O.-Aubrey
Boyles, former United States district
attorney for the south Alabama dis
trict, was suspended for two years and
taxed with the cost of conducting the
trial late yesterday by Judge w. I.
Grubb. Boyles was on trial in disbar-
ment proceedings. Suspension instead
OF disbarment was resorted to in view
of mitiga ting circumstances.
Judge Grubb's preliminary remarks
indicated his decision was based con-
siderably on evidence relating to what
he considered amounted to Boyles' aid
ing Harry G. French to commit a
fraud against John Fl. McEvoy several
years ago. while French was acting
as a Government informer against al
legged bootleggerS and reporting to
Boyles.
Judge Grubb referred to Boyles'
statements concerning Judge Robert
T. Erwin of the southern district of
Alabama at a conference with the At
torney General in Washington. but in
view of Boyles' attitude on the sub.
ject ruled they were not sufficient for
disbarment. but were for discipline.
Judge Ervin's citation to Boyles to
show cause why he should not be dis
barred from practice in the United
States court followed the failure OF
the Senate a number of weeks ago to
confirm the Presidents nomination OF
Boyles for a second term.
Boyles is yet to face an indictment
returned by Federal grand jury
charging him with transporting and
possessing prohibited liquor from a
Government storage room. He IL also
cited by the State Bar Association to
show cause why he should not be dis
barred in the State.

whether any of the Supreme Court
justices felt they should resign and

DOCTORS CLEARED
OF INSURANCE SLUR
Misstatements of Insured,
Rather Than Physicians,
Blamed by Bryan.

Misstatements of the insured
rather than any willful intent on
the part of physicians is responsible
for the alleged Justification of sick
and accident claims, complained or
by Thomas NJ. Baldwin, jf., District
superintendent of insurance, In his
annual report to the Commissioners,
according to F. B. Bryan, jr.. deputy
superintendent of insurance, who re-
piled today to the request of DIR. j.
A. Cannon. chairman of the eXecu :
tive committee of the District Medi-
cal Society, that the names of doc
tors guilty of conspiracy to defraud
insurance companies by making ont
pseudo claims be made public.
Supt Baldwin has left Washing
ton and Is not expected to return
until Monday and Deputy Bryan
took the liberty of answering DIR.
Gannon's communication OF yester-
day. which declared that the charges
had cast a "slur" upon the medical
profession and should be removed.
No Written Charges Filed.
mo written accusations have ever
been fled with this department by
any insurance companies in regard
to the pra actice of doctors, said Mr..
Rryan's reply. However, there Is
no doubt that some dishonesty exists
IN the signing of claim blanks as be-
tween a few doctors and those In
sured under these small policies, but
lust who is to blame is a question
that can never be decided by guess
Ang, nor is any one willing TO accuse
another 1t is my opinion that 1t
in generally a. case of misstatement
by the insured rather than any will
ful intent on the part of the doc.
tors that has caused this trouble.
IT am sure that Mr.. Baldwin in
tended no indictment of the medical
profession as such. but merely re-
cited the incident as part OF the re-
sumo of conditions in the insurance
business in the District of Columbia
That a very small number of doctors
are involved in the controversy is
a certainty, and since the informa :
tion has come from telephone con-
versations in regard to the settle
ment of claims, no records. have been
made of the complaints.
Companies Not Accusers.
Mr.. Bryan also explained that the
four insurance companies-the Con
tinental Life Insurance. the Life and
Casualty Company of Tennessee, the
Capital City Benefit Society and the
Peoples Life Insurance Co.-men-
toned previously as complainants OF
the practice, had not done SO. The
names of these companies were
given, he said, as possible sources
of information as 10 the names of
the doctors who have "induiged in
the practice of fraud
"These companies" Mr.. Bryan
stated, .'are among the most active
carriers of health and accident lines
In this city"
