Montana Ex-Attorney Weed Disbarred for Two Years
Elbert D. Weed once U S district attorney and Helena mayor is suspended from practice for two years by the Montana Supreme Court. The ruling cites deceit in land dealings involving 800 acres in Prickly Pear valley and misconduct in handling mining claims for Angell and Schwendinger. Mayer and Smith were key witnesses. Mayer testified to concealed facts amid funds and title transfers. Weed defended his actions as driven by panic and financial distress. The decision notes potential further review but emphasizes moral fitness over criminal conviction.
