Kentucky State Bar Association v. Brown

On May 4, 1953, C. Maxwell Brown was convicted in the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky of income tax evasion, an offense denounced by U.S.C.A., Title 26, § 145(b), and his punishment was fixed at imprisonment for a year and a day, and a fine of $5,000. The Secretary of the Kentucky State Bar Association filed in this court a certified copy of the judgment of conviction and a rule was issued against Mr. Brown in accord with R.C.A. 3.335 to respond within twenty days to show cause why he should not be disbarred from the practice of law by this court.
