WILLIAM E. DOYLE, Circuit Judge,
specially concurring.
I concur fully in the judgment. Although I agree with the legal conclusions of the majority and am also in agreement with the reasoning contained in the majority opinion, I am unable to subscribe to the entire opinion. My disagreement is with the characterizations of the defendant personally that are found in the majority opinion. It is only because they are unnecessary and not because I am sympathetic to the defendant.
The appellant is not before us in a disbarment proceeding, and although I can understand the desire of the majority to emphasize that as a member of the bar he should have observed the high standards which the profession exacts, the facts here speak for themselves and render it unnecessary to add to the lengthy and explicit statement of the evidence and to the legal effects which flow from that description.
