Denied Right to Practice Medicine in District
Dr. Thomas J. Kemp son-in-law of Senator Fletcher had his medical license revoked by the local medical board. The District Court of Appeals, in an opinion by Associate Justice Van Orsdel, upholds the board and confirms that license revocation is a remedial public protection act, not a punishment. Kemp was convicted in March 1914 in the criminal division on postal law violations linked to his practice, sentence two years in penitentiary, which President Wilson commuted to a $509 fine. Kemp appealed directly to the appellate tribunal.
