## Opinion text

EDMONDS, J.,
Dissenting. — In reviewing the record in this case, my associates say that the findings made by the *300 local administrative committee and the Board of Governors, as a whole, are amply supported by the evidence. They also say: “In considering some aspects of the case against him we see ample reasons for sustaining their action. ’ ’ In my opinion, as each of these statements is accurate and fair, I believe that the recommendation of disbarment unanimously made by the local administrative committee and all members of the Board of Governors present when the charges against the petitioner were considered should be sustained.
Traynor, J., concurred.
