The opinion

McINERNEY, Justice

(dissenting).

The evidence adduced at respondent’s lengthy hearing, as summarized in the majority opinion, indicates to me the inability of respondent to conduct himself within the framework of the Canons of Professional Ethics. The administration of justice, in my opinion, would be better served by the denial of the application for reinstatement to the practice of law on the grounds of respondent’s demonstrated lack of moral qualifications and competency to practice law.

I dissent from the majority opinion.

I am authorized to state that Justice HODGES concurs in these views.
