INVOCATION FOR Fits.
Attempt to Secure Oisbarment Of
Attorney-General Faiis..

The commissioners IN the Fits dis
barment case made their report to the
supreme court at Montpelier Tuesday
morning.
The report exonerates Attorney General
Fits and has only one fault TO nnd-his
letter written after ne had collected the
Smith claim. The report concludes IN
these words:
"There was but little to sustain the
charges made agaiust him and that little
rests largely, we believe, ia the mis-
apprehension on the part Of certain lay
men, honest and OF good intentions, due
to their lack Of familiarity with the rules
and practice of the court and 10 the
apparently unfortunate outcome OF one
particular suit In this case bartlett

defeated party and had as his associates

giving Mr.. Fits too much credit 10
attribute to him all the fault, II fauit
there was.
"Exoept for that grave mistake in his
/ then financial condition OF mixing his
clients money with his own, the mistake
which furnished the occasion ana the
only excuse in his own mind Tor the
second lapse, the April letter. now ~
/ years old, the hearing devolved nothing
I to the discredit OF Mr.. Fits. In all this
we find, as heretofore stated, that saia
/ Fits had no intention Of injuTing or de-
I frauding his clients and II had no such
effect The testimony was overwhelming
and practically without dispute, that said
/ Fits is an able lawyer, aggressive, per
sistent and efficient as practitioner,
Jealous and faithful to the interest OF has
client, with a high sense OF professional
/ honor.
s.The exhibits introduced in the hearing
/ before as are transmitted herewith for the
I inspection OF the court. The minutes OF
the bearing in full are in the custody Of

desired. Respectfully submitted, Alfred
