LIQUOR CHARGES
26 NEW YORK DOCTORS FINED NEW YORK, April 2. A sweeping investigation of the liquor transactions of New York doctors and druggists conducted recently by Brooklyn Prohibition agents resulted in the fining of twenty-six physicians charged with violating the terms of their permits. In addition six druggists were fined or sentenced to imprisonment, four of them for conspiracy to violate the Volstead Act. The court proceedings which led to this devastating indictment of professional methods were administered by Federal Judge Cover M. Moscowitz in Brooklyn. As he imposed the fines on the doctors, all of whom pleaded guilty to the permit violation charge, Judge Moscowitz expressed himself as being grieved and shaken by the task ho was performing.
