In re Kowalsky

This proceeding was instituted here by a written accusation charging Henry I. Kowalsky, an attorney of this court, with certain professional misconduct, and praying that he “be removed from the office of attorney and counselor at law. ’ ’ Kowalsky filed a written answer to the accusation, and the proceeding was referred to Hon. Niles Searls, now one of the commissioners of this court, to take evidence in the matter, “and to report the facts adduced therefrom to this court.” The commissioner took, in writing, the evidence introduced by the parties to the proceeding, and returned the same to the court. He also reported, made and filed his findings of facts, which are as follows:

We think that the foregoing findings of the commissioner are fully justified by the evidence, and present a correct and fair statement of the facts in the ease; and, after a careful consideration of the matter, we are satisfied that these facts would not warrant us in rendering any judgment against the accused. The prayer of the accusation is denied and the proceeding dismissed.
