Wright, C.J.
(concurring in the dissent) — I have signed the dissent herein. I do feel, however, it should be said that the law is an honorable profession. Contrary to views held by many persons, the legal profession probably has the highest moral and ethical standards of any trade, calling, vocation or profession known to man. That is necessarily so because of the nature of its work.
The conduct of a member of the bar should ever be above reproach. What this respondent did is a discredit to his chosen profession and evidences a lack of that degree of moral judgment and moral fitness which should always be the mark of a lawyer and a gentleman.
*469The strength of a collegiate court is in the collective judgment of the majority. I am hopeful the future will prove the result reached in this case was just and proper.
