It for this court to animadvert upon the prevalent exaggeration an<? excess1 In public speech so discreditable and misleading? Allowance must be made for weak men who drift with a current into untrue statements and who assume one character In private life and another In public speech. A charge of falsehood against an attorney so weak as to meet expletive with excess in the heat of political campaign would rarely be considered by the courts la disbarment proceedings, but untrue asservationr without probable cause made by a member of the bar that certain citizens have stolen or burned specific property Is a serious ofTense, going to the foundation of character, must be weighed by the courts, especially w^hen coupled with other offenses Showing reckless disregard of professional duty."
