whom were sentenced in 1948 from
Kenosha to life for murder; and
Americo de Pietto, sentenced in
1954 from Kenosha to from one to

to rob.
The indictments mentioned in
the complaint were said to have
occurred between 1953 and 195S.

Catlin denied the allegations
last month when he appeared be
fore the bar commissioners at a
closed hearing.
The board in its charges in
volving Fazio alleged that Catlin
"secured for himsell payment of
an excessive and extortionate sum
of money" from Fazio s brother,
Frank, "knowing that it was paid
to him with the corrupt intention
of influencing official conduct."
Soagbt Clemency
The charge also said that Catlin
"by his words, acts and conduct,
induced one Frank Fazio to be
lieve that defendant (Catlin) be
cause of his prominent standing,
acquaintance, and relations With
public officials, and his political
influence and position could pro
cure favorable considerations of a
petition of executive clemency for
Louis Fazio . . ."
The board further alleged that
in 1953 Frank Fazio paid Catlin
$5,000 in cash, $4,000 of which was
retained by him, and $1,000 of
A. J. Hedding. the Fazio
ney.
Catlia waa not the attorney of
record in any of the cases.
Maay Inmate
The other charges against Cat
lia were similar to the one in
voking Fazio. The board alleged
in its fourth count which didn't
name inmates that Catlin "re
ceived for himself large and ex
cessive amounts of money from
many Inmates at Wsupin and their
families."
The board termed the charges
