PRICE FIVE CENTS VIOLATED DUTIES, IS FINDING Bar Commission Makes No Recommendation in Report TRUST FUND Finds He Received Tax Money; Commingled It With Own SANTA FE, March 16 (Special) -For the first time the history of New Mexico the State Supreme Court is called upon, in the profes. sional misconduct case Justice L.

Williams, a McKinley County oil property owner. to apply on tax payment) with his delinquent, further, that Zinn "received the money In question as trust fund." As a result of the bar commisson's findings it is up to the Supreme Court to determine whether Zinn is to be disbarred from law practice, reprimanded for unethical conduct or granted further hearing before the court Itself. No Frandulent Intent The findings of fact by the bar commission stated in substance that Zinn, a special assistant tax attorney employed by the State Tax Commission, had received from H. L.

P. Hutton and Company, a brokerage concern, which credited the money to the account of Zinn and his wife and thereby commingled the money with his own funds and thereafter Zinn used the money held in the brokerage account it trading in stocks. But the commission holds that the evidence at the hearing does show that Zinn acted with fraudulent Intent, although at no of time did he make disclosure how the money was being held.
