HOPFEcKER DISBARmENr APPEAL CASE.
Heard Before Superior Court Last Friday and
Decision Withheld Until January Next

Heard Before Superior Court Last Friday and |
Decision Withheld Until January Next.
Great stress was laid in Supreme
Court, Dover, Friday upon the degree
of guilt of an attorney selected to ad-
minister a trust fund who by specula-
tion or otherwise, makes unwise and
improvident investments. Before a
full bench of the Supreme Court five
judges sitting and Chief Justice
Charles b. Lore, presiding. Attorneys
Higgins and Eastburn, appearing for
James H. Hoiecker and urged that
Mr.. Hoffecker had not speculated or
converted to his own use any part of
the $4,000 fortune alleged to have
been left by Joseph Teas, and which
has disappeared or dwindled to less
than 800. The specific act pointed
out and emphasized by counsel for the
chancellor's rule, that of exchanging
valuable securities left by Mr.. Teas
sufficient to purchase $50 shares of the
Hockessin Kaolin Company, which
Mr.. Hoffecker was promoting, was
pointed out as an unwise but, so his
counsel contended not in any wise a
fraudulent act, since Mr.. Hoffecker's
own holdings for which he had in
vested over $4,000 of his own money
in the Hockessln Company, was only
twenty-five per cent of the capital
stock, while the trust funds held over
so per cent. Again as previously, j.
Harvey Whiteman and William s.
Hilles of counsel for the rule disbar-
ring Mr.. Hoffecker contended that his
Investments of gill edge holdings of
the Teas estate in Cedartown stock
Chat of development and suburban
company in Georgia. and of the un-
profitable investment in Peninsula
Basket and Crate Company stock and
in the Hokessin Kaolin Company were
reckless, improvident and in violation
of the will of Mr.. Teas which stated
that none of these investments were tc
be changed without the concurrence
of majority of his heirs. Unwist
and unfortunate investments of trus
funds, declared Mr.. Eastburn, ''al
, courts say are not sufficient offense fol-
disbarring lawyer, robbing him o
his capital, and just as much his prop
, erty as his watch and his realty. Onl
: fraud, corruption and criminal embez
element of these funds can in any wa
constitute sufficient grounds for dis
: barment. The sufferers from an attor
ney's unfortunate investment of thei
funds have their legal redress in civ
action but not in cutting off his heat
: Mr.. Hoffecker in this case, frequentl
visited the homes of these heirs, cor
- suited with them over these fund
! and his third account, passed Octob,
: 4, 1889, stands without exceptions
" Nothing prior to this accounting ca
be taken into consideration in th
case.
