Ralph Fisher a Portland prosecutor and member of the Oregon Bar association was shot in his Port land law office on a Saturday. The killing by a cowardly degenerate occurred as Fisher carried out disbarment proceedings against a member of the legal profession. The murderer Finch is named in the report with indications Fisher would have pursued further disciplinary action.
A speaker argues that the killing of Fisher shows the work of reform is necessary. He says the legal profession demands high character and vows, and those lacking morality should not be admitted to the bar. If admitted, they must be disbarred when their true nature is found. The murder should spur further action to cleanse the profession. The death should not be in vain.
