The honorary degrees were issued
by DR.. Alexander, upon his own in
itiative for not less than $500 each
10 those who had attended medi-
cal school for four years. DR.. Waite
testified he was informed. The
price was going up however, DR..
Alexander was quoted as saying.
since he found that "the publicity
was bringing advertising to him"
They We're ISSUED for his personal
purposes"
DR.. Waite was or the stand when
recess was declared
The eclectics scored one point
earlier in the day when Judge
Simpson refused to allow the in
PRODUCTION, on behalf OF the state
board OF health, OF a copy Of the
Judgment file Of the Missouri SUI
preme court dissolving the school,
on the grounds that the copy was
not properly certified and did not
bear the seal of the secretary of the
state OF Missouri and of the court
in which it was issued.
II developed during the proceed
ings that the flle in the case OF
Aurelius r. De Janis. which it had
supposed had transferred her
from Fairfield county with others
had been mislaid. c. W. Baudy Of
Bridgeport, counsel for De Janis, OBJ
jected to going ahead with the case
here until his client had been con-
suited.
Efforts. on part of attorneys for
eclectic doctors whose appeals from
revocation of their licenses to prac-
tice in Connecticut were heard in
superior court here, to inquire as
to the standing Of state health COM
missioner Stanley II. Osborn as a
physician, were defeated today by
the objections Of special Attorney
General James w. Carpenter. sus-
tanned by Judge Earnest c. Simpson.
DR.. Osborn was put on the stand
at the opening of todays session TO
identify the applications Of the II
cclectics for licenses to practice.
After the applications had been Of
fered and accepted as exhibits. At
torney w. F. Fitzpatrick inquired as
TO whether DIR. Osborn's application
was in either OF the two volumes
submitted.
His queries as to whether when
you became a physician. was it by
examination or were you allowed in
without examination" whether DR..
Osborn's certificate of moral char
acter were there, and whether he
had had one or two witnesses, were
all barred by objections.
The method Of determination of
what schools OF medicine should be
accepted as reputable" was taken
up by Attorney Arthur B. O'Keefe
Of West Haven. The list of such
schools is filed by the secretary Of
the examining board and the secre-
taries OF the various medical asso-
Citations. DR.. Osborn testified. after
the question who is the proper
person to say whether or not
school is reputable" had been bar
red.
The cross questioning Of Attorney |
O'Keefe brought out from the wit
ness that between 1921 and 1928 no |
lists had been filed Of schools ap-
proved by any of the three branches
Of medicine. allopathic. homeopath-
ic or eclectic, which have separate
examining board.
The cross questioning was con-
tinued by Attorney Fitzpatrick.
when IN applicant Of a license
appears, do you go over the list Of
approved schools to see II that In
which he was educated Is on the
list?" he asked DR.. Osborn, hut the
question was barred. The attorney
told the court he was endeavoring
to ascertain II the health commits
sioner knew his duties and perform
ed them.
when did the secretary OF the
eclectic association file such a list"
he asked.
"In 1928"
Had the secretaries OF the other
medical associations filed such list
up TO that time" The objection of |
Carpenter was sustained.
Could Not Recall
A series of questions brought out
that the list submitted by the secre-
tary OF the Eclectic Association was
not in possession of DR.. Osborn. who
believed the court had it: that he
could not recall if the ST. Louis and
Kansas City schools, in which the
eclectics had been edu-
Gated in whole or in part, were OF
the list. although the commissioner
said he would not say the schools
were not included.
Attorneys Fitzpatrick and O'Keefe |
asked on behalf of their clients that
the list be produced, but allowed
DIR. Osborn to leave the stand with |
the understanding that the list !
would be offered later by the state 4
and that DR.. Osborn would remain I
to take the stand later If they
wished.
The applications of the ec!ectics
we're introduced by the state. At |
torney Carpenter said, in order to
have on record their statements as
TO the schools in which they were
educated and their signatures He
called attention of the court to the
fact that. under oath, they had
stated they had been examined by
the eclectic examining board.
The oclectics whose appeals are
now being heard include Samuel
Slabotsky and Samuel Posner of
New Haven, David Aaronson Of
Waterbury. Abbie J. Goodwin and
Julius P. Karp OF Hartford, William
T. Mccormick and Raymond C. |
