An Ephrata lawyer charged with threatening to kill government officials in Washington, D.C. has been disbarred.
The state Supreme Court s order on Wednesday prevents Kenelm Shirk III from practicing law. Though effective June 11, the Supreme Court noted Shirk has resigned.
Acting United States Attorney Bruce D. Brandler announced in February a single charge of threatening to murder Democratic U.S. senators against Shirk, 71. A grand jury indicted Shirk on Feb. 3.
Shirk has pleaded not guilty. He is scheduled for trial Aug. 2 and has been in federal detention since since shortly after his arrest. Shirk s firm, Shirk Law Associates in Ephrata, had been the longtime solicitor for Akron Borough, but Akron dropped him after his arrest.
