The United States vs. william L. Rausch.-The
defendant was arrested for an alleged violation OF
the forty-fourth section of the Bankrupt act, in

fixtures, with intent as alleged, to defraud his
creditors within four months before the COM
mencement Of proceedings IN bankruptcy against
Mason, OF the firm OF Cammeyer Il Mason, OF this
city, that upon their petition RauSch was adjudl-
Gated a bankrupt on the 18TH OF August 1878, and
Mr.. Mason was subsequently appointed hs assignee
and had the bankrupt and others examined. 1t
appeared from this examination that IN the
month OF September, 1872, Mr.. Rausch commenced
business a retail dealer in boots and shoes up
town. and continued in that business until July 8,
1873, when as the prosecution claim being inSol-
vent, he sold out all his stock and fixtures to one
Theodore Cans for the consideration OF $500, but
on the understanding that the goods and fixtures
should be sold: that Cans should retain $500 due
to him by Raucsh Tor money loaned and return the
surplus to Rausch. Rausch testified that he had
paid away all this surplus.
