The Respondent in this case filed a plea of guilty (Integration Rule of The Florida Bar, Art. XI, Rule 11.06(11), 32 F.S.A.), to charges brought against him by The Florida Bar, which were stated to be as follows:

“That the Respondent was retained by JAMES ESCHINGER to represent him as his attorney for the purpose of collecting his share of the proceeds of his late father’s estate.
“That on or about May 26, 1967, the Respondent received a check in the amount of $6,715.78 made payable to JAMES ESCHINGER. That the Respondent endorsed JAMES ESCHINGER’S name on said check and deposited the proceeds in his Trust Account.
“That the Respondent, without making any distribution to JAMES ESCHINGER, withdrew from his Trust Account $6,715.78 belonging to JAMES ES-CHINGER, and appropriated said monies for his own use and purposes.
“That for a long time thereafter and up to approximately April 7, 1968, the Respondent failed and refused to make an accounting to JAMES ESCHINGER for the $6,715.78 due and owing him.
