where whisky was to be had and in

Continued for about two weeks to get
drunk almost daily. That during said
time he was frequently demonstrated
with by the officers of the court and
others and begsed and pleaded with to
refrain from drunkenness for the credit
Of himself, the good name of the COM
munity ard the dignity of the court.
That to those entreated he always re-
piled by making the most solemn
pledges never to get drunk, nor TO drink
again, but uniformly broke his word
and from such conferences went, on
ately, and each time got a fresh bottle
of whisky and got drunk on it.
LONG SUFFERING CHARITY.
Sixth-That out of long suffering
charity for the said Warren n. Dusen-
berry and the good name the county.
We have hitherto refrained from ac-
ton IN this matter hoping against hope
that a regard for duty and a sense OF
shame, might at last induce him to
fersake his drunkenness. but now,
owing to his having broken every
pledge of abstinence. and because we
believe from our experience with him
in the past he never will cease to drink,
and because his conduct has become in
tolerable in a civilized and Self-respect-
ing community, a sense of duty imDels
70 hot hi ssN,, e ha
judicial Office is a foul blot upon the
fair name of our state and especially of
cur judicial district.
Seyenth-That at various times said
Warren n. Dusenberry has tried to
borrow of the county treasurer of Utah
county money which he knew to be
public funds.
Eishth-That said Warren n. Dusen-
berry has borrowed money of men haY-
ing litigation pending before him, while
he had such Irrigated matters under
consideration and advisement and at
such times has asked the counsel of
such litigants to loan him money.
Ninth-That said Warren n. Dusen-
berry is wholly unfit, by reason of his
habituai drunkenness, to command the
esteem and respect of the community
necessary 10 a proper administration of
justice. That by reason of his ignor-
ance of the law he is totally unfit to
hear and determine important or any
legal controversy. That by reason of
his borrowing of money of persons
litigant in his. court, he does not have
that reputation for honesty which
ought to belong to a judge.
Tenth-That it is the. sense of this
association that the said Warren N
DusenberTy ought to at. once resign
his office of judge of the Fourth judi
cisl district court and we hereby de-
mand that he do resign at once, and
that the grievance committee of this
association wait upon said Warren n.
Dusenberry ard deliver to him q copy
of these resolutiono and report their
dcings at the next meeting Of this as
I hereby certify that the foregoing
is a full. true and correct copy of tie
original resolutions passed by the Bar
association OF Provo City at a meet
ing of said association held in Prove
City, May 81, 1898.
