sale In order to help him out. Judge
lilies says he may be bound to accept
Mr. Becks statement so far as 1t az
fects him. but holds that he is not bound
to decide that that such was Mr. Cum
nlnghams intent in view Of his denial
Of Mr.. Beck's statement,
The only testimony IN the case the
court further finds, which really indi-
Gates any intent on Mr. Cunningham
part TO assist Mr. Beck in any fraud
on creditors, was that given by Mr. r.
r. Anderson. The latter testified 90
having had numerous conversations
respecting the matter with Mr. Cum
nngham In the course OF which the lat
ter made several admissions. Mr. An
dersou was certain that Mr.. Cunning
ham had admitted TO him his intention
10 put of Mr.. Beck's creditors; also
that the bin Of sale was intended as a
security and not an absolute passing
Of the title in the stock from Mr. Beck
to Mr. Cunningham.
Mr.. Cunningham denied explicitly
that he made the statements 10 Mr..
Anderson, and Judge HIles, in the light
OF all the testimony and Of all the cir
cumstances." thinks It certain that the
witness Is mistaken. as TO the purport
Of the tenor OF Mr. Cunningham
statements to him, There is no doubt,
the court further finds. but that Mr..
Beck tried to get Mr.. Cunningham 20
advance the money and accept the as
signment OF the stock is a security. but
the latter would not consent 20 any
such an arrangement. The payment
by Mr. Cunningham OF various large
sums In order TO save the stock proves
conclusiyely 10 the mind of the court
that he believed he had absolute con-
troll OF the stock.
The court thereupon finds that the
sale was an absolute one and orders
that findings and decree be entered for
the defendant Cunningham.
WILL BE APPEALED.

thousand dollars and interest, which
now amounts to about one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. The case was

Judge Hles rendered decision to-
sav In the case Of e, w. Wilson, as
trustee IN bankruptcy Of John Beck
Of al w James A. Cunningham ct al,
finding the issues In favor Of the de-
PENDANT Cunningham, which means
that neither Mr.. Wilson nor Mr.. Beck
gets anything by the action.
The Issues in this case are about as
follows. In May. 1898. Mrs. Eyerhard
obtained judgments In the Third dis
trIct court against Mr. John Beck
amounting in all TO s2l54S.6S ENecu-
tons were issued and a levy was made
on Mr. Beck's interest IN $1,000 shares
Of the Bullion-Beck and Champion Min
ing combany which were then IN the
hands Of Josiah Barnett. trustee. as
pledged security for certain other debts
due from Mr.. Beck 10 various other
creditors.
For the purpose Of paying OF tie
Eyerhard judgments Mr. Beck applied
20 Mr.. Cunningham for the loan Of }2l-
jiS.6s. Mr.. Cunningham advanced the
money and received from Mr.. Beck a
bin OF sale. absolute on It's face. for
his (BeckD interest In the $1,000 shares
Of Bullion Beck stock Mr.. Beck
claimed that he and Mr.. Cunningham
had agreed secretly that the transac-
ton was a mere assignment and not
a bona fde transfer and was done for
the purpose Of hindenng. delaying and
defrauding Mr. Becks creditors.
This was denied by Mr. Cunningham,
who said the bill Of sale was not given
as a security for the money advanced,
but represented an absolute sale Of Mr..
Becks interests in the stock,
The court, after reviewing the evil
de1ce. finds that Mr.. Cunningham was
not aware that Mr.. Beck had any credl-
tors except those who were provided
for In the Bennett assignment and the
Evorhard judgments. and therefore
could have no object in hlndering. de-
laying or defrauding any one. Mr..
Beck said IN his testimony that Mr..
Cunningham knew all about his bust
ness affairs and that he consented to
accept the alleged pretended bin Of
