CAPTAIN HART DISBARRED
Cannot Practice in State Courts for
Six Months

Cannot Practice in State Courts for
Six Months.
Suspension from practicing as an
attorney in any of the courts Of this
state for six months is the punishment
meted out to Captain Francis B. Hart
of Minneapolis by the special supreme
court appointed to try the disbarment
proceedings instituted against him by
the State Bar ssociation. The de-
cision, written by Judge Frank c..
Brooks OF Minneapolis, acting chief
justice, was filed with the clerk of the
supreme court.
The special court severely arraigns
Captain Hart for the language used
in his letter to Chief Justice Start
and incidentally upholds the correct.
ness of the decisions rendered by the
supreme court to which Mr. Hart took
exception and upon which the letters
were based. AS to his defense that
the letters were written by him as a
citizen and not as an officer of the
court, the special court holds that
insofar as he exercised the right of a
private citizen in criticising the court
he was immune from the penalty
sought to be enforced, but that mas
sailing the chief justice personally he
wilfully violated his oath of office and
rendered himself liable to disbarment.
