Hearing for Dentist in License Case
Dr A G Jones of 1094 Main Read building faced trial in City Court before Judge Coughlin on charges tied to state licensing laws. County Health Officer Hill led prosecution with ex-city attorney Cullinan assisting, while defense counsel Klein DeForest Brennan argued. Witness George H Smith testified about Jones handling dental work solo, with ads and misgivings about his registration status and advertised qualifications. The case centers on whether Jones practiced as a full dentist or only as an assistant, with six counts across surgery and registration. The hearing began with documentary evidence, including advertisements, and Smith's testimony on bridge work and dissatisfaction with results. The Connecticut State Dental Commission contends Jones violated statutes by practicing beyond registered assistant duties. The matter continues on page two.
