Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Under the provisions of K.S.A. 7-111, et seq., the State
Board of Law Examiners instituted this disbarment proceeding
September 14, 1967, against Fred W. Phelps, a practicing attorney
in Topeka. The original accusation of disbarment contained seven counts of
alleged professional misconduct. Phelps answered, and issues were
joined. Thereupon, this court appointed the Honorable George K.
Melvin as its commissioner, who proceeded to hear evidence and to
render his report. The commissioner generally concluded that the
board had failed to sustain the burden of proving the allegations
of any of the seven counts. The board then filed its exceptions
to that portion of the commissioner's report pertaining to Counts
I, III, IV and V and renewed its request for disbarment of Phelps
as originally prayed for in the accusation. Phelps, on the other
hand, has filed a motion to accept the commissioner's report, and
for his discharge.
