DlSBARMENT SET ASIDE
Sehuylkill County Officers Name
Ordered Back on Attorney List

In an opinion by Chief Justice Won
MoschziSker the Supreme Court today
set aside the disbarment proceedings
against +. J. Maginnis, an assistant
district attorney of Schuylkill county,
and ordered his name replaced on the
roll OF attorneys.
Maginnis was generally charged with
professional misconduct. the specific
complaints against him being that in an
assault and battery case before the grand
jury in Schuylkill county he had in
serted the name of witness on the in
dictmcnt when he learned that this wit
ness had something important to say In
connection with the case.
lie was also accuser of coming TO
this city while he was prosecuting Of
fcCr Of the state to assist in the defense
of "Bill' Lieb. former political leader
of Schuylkill county. who was tried
here and convicted in relation 10 the is.
suancc of forged tax receipts. Lieb' =
case is pending before the Superior
Court Maginnis easily proved that he
did not aid in the defense Of Licb, but
was merely summoned AZ witness at
the trial. Justice Won MiSchzisker
after reviewing the facts of the disbar.
mcnt and the law applicable to the issue,
ruled that the most Maginnis could be
properly accused Of was possibly breach
Of good taste.
