 Miller, you have pleaded guilty. Where such an offense has been com- mitted you must know that it is pecu- liarly aggravated in the case of man who holds the position that you do as member of the bar. But there seems to be an opinion here that if you are given a chance you will lead a better life. Therefore, shall deal leniently with You. You are sentenced to five months in iail.''
