PETITION FOR BANKRUPTCY DIS
MISSED.
Judge Lowell, in the United States
. district court, has dismissed an invol-
untary petition, filed to have the Baker
Ricketson Company, a Worcester cor
poration, adjudged a bankrupt The
grounds upon which the petition is
based were that it admitted in writing
it's inability to pay its debts and it's
willingness to be adjudged bankrupt,
and that it permitted it's property to be
removed and taken possession of by a
receiver with intent to hinder and de-
lay its creditors in the collection of
their claims. The court found that
upon the whole, though the respond
ent's conduct is considered analogous
to some of the statutory acts of bank
ruptcy, yet it Is not fairly covered by
any statutory definition"
