Barton in the disbar iont charge hearing & gainst Fisher found that the accuse I was utility SJ charger on four of the seven counts against him. The referee made no n commendation In regard to what ac tion the supreme court should take. In each case where a finding of guilt is entered by the referee the language is substantially us follows: "The evidence is sufficient to estab lish the charge and to convict the respondent of irregular. Illegal ami unprofessional conduct." The foregong if the finding in the Irst specification which charged thai Mr. Fisher, as attorney for Nellie Woodward In a suit for specific per formance of contract of lease with ption of purchase of real estate In Chadrnu testified that two duplicate contracts were siuneel by the plaintiff and by defendant, Charles Hewitts, in the presence of Mr. Fisher. The I referee finds that the signatures of Hewins were forgeries and were traced from a genuine signature on a letter, and that Fishe r knew Hewins did not sign. The referee finds the evidence suf iclnt to sustain th charge of an at tempt to black mail Attorney Kdwin 1 D. Crites and Mrs. Hood and to es tablish his guilt of irregular, illegal snd unprofessional conduct. The referee states that Fisher was acquit ted of this charge in district court on the technical ground that Mr. Crites and Mrs. Hood consented to be black mailed. Robert Hood had employed Fisher as his attorney in domes: ic troubles, the intention being to obtain evidence against Mrs. Hood thai Blight prevent her from obtaining all mony. On the charge of evading an order f disbarment or suspension issued by the supreme court to take effect February 1, 1909, for a period of one year, the referee finds as follows: "I conclude that the conduct of the respondent in this behalf was not a bona fled obedience to the letter and spirit of the said order but was an evasion and an effort to avlod the consequences of thejfald order of sus pension. " , ! fff" ing been disbarred or sus pended for one year Mr. Fisher fs charged with practicing law. He had employed another attorney to lake care of his cases in court, but WBI charged with really practicing law in disregard of the suspension from the bar. At one time during that period the clerk of the s'lpreme court, at the direction of the judges of the court, returned a tiling and fee to Fisher. The letter from the court contained a warning "not to try to avoid the same by signing other attorneys' names to papers filed herein.
