The opinion

McALLISTER, J.,

dissenting.

In my opinion, the recommendation of the Board of Governors that petitioner be suspended from the practice of law for a period of three years should be adopted by this court, and I therefore dissent from that portion of the opinion which imposes a lesser penalty.
