Hester v. Hartridge
Hester v. Hartridge
Opinion of the Court
The J. W. Hester Company was adjudicated bankrupt on February 16, 1926. Thereafter the trustee, appellee herein, brought suit in the District Court to recover of Lillie Gray Porter, a former employee, some $4,000 in money, alleged to be part of the assets of the bankrupt, and to have been turned over to her, within four months of bankruptcy, pursuant
After a full bearing tbe District Court found against appellants, ordered tbe money impounded turned over to tbe trustee, and entered judgment against appellants for $4,-000, with interest. Error is assigned to this action of tbe court. Without stopping to review it, it is sufficient to say that tbe evidence in tbe record fully supports tbe judgment of tbe District Court.
Error is also alleged to tbe allowance of an amendment to tbe trustee’s pleading, alleging tbe insolvency of tbe Hester Company after November 1, 1925, and to tbe admission of certain" evidence tending to contradict tbe testimony of Miss Porter and Hester, given before tbe referee in tbe course of tbe bankruptcy inquiry, which bad been offered by appellee and admitted without objection. These assignments are entirely without merit. We find no error in tbe record.
Affirmed.
