Judge to practice law in his own county
is as unethical and improper as 1t well
could be. There being no specific PEN
atty provided by the statute, the COM
mittee says the only remedy is impeach-
ment by the Legislature.
The report is signed by Frank Nc
Cir. of Pittsburgh, chairman John
s. Killing, Erie Thomas Ross. Doyles-
town Robert Grey Bushong. Reading.
and Robert +. Hopewood, Uniontown,

Broomall States His Reasons
Judge Broomall appeared before the
committee and in defense of his posi-
tion stated that, Of course, in obedience
to the law and as n matter Of common
sense he did not practice law while MI
ling the Office of judge, and that no
only yielded in this case because OF bis
acquaintance with the affairs of the de-
ccdent, because of his long friendship
for Mr.. Roop, one of the executors, and
for the reason that in no event could
the will come before him as judge, nor
could he be called to pass upon any
question concerning the estate. The
testimony showed that Judge Broomall
had returned a check of $1,000 rendered
him for services in the estate, but the
committee stated that this was after
the charges had been filed against him.
The difficulties in the way OF un :
Scrambling the legal mix x-ups caused by
the independent and unrelated activities
Of forty eight lawmaking bodies in as
many states of the union, some Of which
have been grinding out statutes since
Colonial times, were in part set forth
on the report Of the committee on uni
form state laws, submitted at yestcr-
days session.
The report states that the committee
has been working in connection with
various other agencies. the principal
one of which is the national conference
Of commissioners on uniform laws,

prised by two patrolmen early this

an automobile and several hundred
pounds of sugar they had placed in It,.
AT B 30 O'Clock Patrolmen Opfer and
Bakley saw an automobile in front of
the home Of Opfer, who lives but a
short distance from Secondhand Pearl.
They were curious to know what the
machine was doing there so early in the
morning.
The patrolmen investigated and dis
covered one 2OO-pound sack of sugar
and another 100 pound sack lying in
the automobile ready to be carried
away.
'There must be something doing
here" said Opfer. "We'll lay low" =
They did and soon noticed four men
sinking out Of the American Store
carrying n safe. When the men saw the
policemen they dropped the safe and
ran down Second street. The patrol
men followed them, but no shots were
fired.
The automobile bore n New Jersey

looking for the owner. Phey tdo not

ethical conduct brought against him by
the Pennsylvania Bar Association be-
fore making reply.
II want to think the entire matter
over before replying" he said.
The judge had not vet received Of
fetal notice Of the action of the bar
association in its convention at Bed
ford Springs, and wanted to have all
the information possible at hand, he
said. before making anv comment.
The report is the verdict of the COM

Der Of the New York bar and one of the
executors of the will Of Mary 8. Gro
zer, resident of Delaware county,
who died September 10, leaving an es
tate of some S700. 900. The cnnp.a mt
accuses Judge Brooinall of violating the
law Of April u. 1894. which provides ::
mo judge of any court of this com

or counselor in any court of justice in
the commonwealth or elsewhere"
The committee characterizes the
judges action in the matter as a
violation of the law. wholly unethical,
inimical to the best interests Of the
profession and practices of the~law and
the best interests of justice.
The committee, after an extended in =
quiry, found the facts to be that the

was drawn by Judge Broomall as law
yer and executed under his direction
and advice as counsel. and subscribed
by him as a witness while he was q
judge in commission.
