The opinion

CURTIS, J. and EDMONDS, J., Dissenting.

We dissent from that part of said order fixing the petitioner’s term of suspension at six months instead of two years as provided in our previous decision. The record in this case shows the petitioner to be guilty of a most serious offense. A suspension of two years as recommended by the Board of Governors of The State Bar cannot, under all the circumstances of this case, be considered too severe a penalty to be imposed for such an offense.
