were not pressed to a logical conclu-
sion."
Nor does the testimony support the
finding that the respondent was guilty
of Matchmaking the railroad company
by compelling it to pay his fee, al
though that fee was excessive. The
additional 5000 was paid by the COM
pany voluntarily and was added to
and recited in the deed as a part of
the consideration for the land. There
is much to support the conviction that
with this fee added to the agreed con-
sideration the company did not pay
the actual value of the land conveyed.
The respondent was regularly employ
ed in those cases and was entitled to
pay for his services
Again the evidence to my mind
does not sustain the finding that the
respondent by means of threats and
intimidations and taking advantage OF
the mental infirmities of Sumner,
caused the latter to pay him an ex-
cessive fee The fee of $4,000 paid
the respondent was possibly excessive
but il is not probable that Sumner was
intimidated by threats to pay it. The
respondent did not take Sumner alone
into the privacy of his back office to
talk to him about the fee
Il can overlook some irregularities
in the respondent on account of his
we'll known idiosyncrasies and his
frank and open method of doing BUSH
ness. I fear that the court has not
made due allowance for these in it's
opinion. The respondent does battle
in the open and not from ambush
That is something in his favor.
THE reputation of the respondent
munity was testified to by some OF
the leading members of the bar, one of
whom was and is the senior counsel
of the Oahu Railway and Land Co.,
the corporation that the respondent
is found guilty of Matchmaking"
1.-The respondent is deserving OF
some rerroof and punishment from
the court for the abuse of legal proc
ess but the judgment announced goes
far beyond the demands of justice and
is unreasonable and excessive"
