| Court | Minnesota Supreme Court |
Application by the State Board of Law Examiners for the disbarment of Samuel D. O'Neill, an attorney at law, wherein respondent filed a motion for an order permitting him to resign his office as an attorney and counselor. Respondent removed from office of attorney and counselor, and his license annulled. Chas. J. Traxler, of Minneapolis, for State Board of Law Examiners.
Albert R. Allen, of Fairmont, for O'Neill.
On the same date that the petition herein for disbarment was filed, respondent filed a motion for an order permitting him to resign his office as an attorney in the courts of this state. The motion of respondent is denied.
Upon a consideration of the record herein we find that the allegations of the petition made by the state board of law examiners are true, viz.: That respondent, Samuel D. O'Neill, a duly licensed and practicing attorney of this state, was on October 30, 1916, duly convicted in the United States District Court, District of Minnesota, of the crime of having unlawfully and willfully conspired and agreed with one Andrew E. Carlson to commit an offense against the United States, that is to say, to conceal, prior to the said Andrew E. Carlson's becoming a bankrupt and while said Andrew E. Carlson was a bankrupt, from the trustee of said Andrew E. Carlson certain of the property belonging to the estate in bankruptcy of said Andrew E. Carlson, committed at Sherburn, Minn., and sentenced to imprisonment in the United States penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., for one year and one day. It is therefore ordered that respondent, Samuel D. O'Neill, be removed from his office as an attorney and counselor in the courts of this state, and that the license heretofore issued to him be, and the same is hereby, annulled.
