Dr. Moanian Given Explanations on the Snablt. The grand jury having returned in dictments against Dr. Monahan and Dr. Weitman forapracticing medicine without a state medical certificate. A TRIauxt reporter sought today the particulars among the parties concerned. Dr. Mona- 1 han says that when he came here last November he received a temporary certi cate from Dr. Crutcher, the secretary of the medical board, authorizing him to practice until the board met in April. Dr. Crutcher promised to notify him of the meeting. The letter which Dr. Crutcher sent with such notice was missent to Helena and remained there 80 days. Measntime the board had met nnd ad journed. Dr. Monahan says that Dr. Crutcher assured him that no action would be taken by him before the next meeting of the board. He received that assurance on asking for a renewal of the temporary certiticate. He says that he holdsa diploma trom theim University of Minnesota which is a medical school of high standing. His diploma has been recognized in both New York and Eu rope. He considers that the present In dictment is based solely upon technical grounds and is in conflict with the letter and spirit of the medical law of Mon tens. He holds that the issue of the temporary certificate shows that he has all the qualifications needed for practice in Montana. Dr. Crutcher was seen on the subject of the indictments. He said that he would prefer to make no statement until the matter comes before the court, when he is.confident that his course which has been dictated solely by public grounds, will be vindicated.
