effect that the petitionins creditors William II
Rothbotham. Frank A Rarnaby and Leo Wise had
failed 10 establish the insolvency OF the firm on
October II, 1907 The principal act OF bankruptcy
alleged was preferential transfer OF securities TO
the Mercantile National Bank. as collateral for a

Smith in the report admitted that Heinze & Co
two days later had deficit OF SI77. 900.
Otto c. Heinze told Mr.. Smith that he never
knew there had been any change IN the record
ing OF the transactions in the books OF the Nier-
camille National Bank. and said that the coll
lateral notes had not been returned.
Sustaining the special masters report. Judge
Hand in his decision. among other things. says:
No could say that the change was not an
undisclosed assignment OF the claim against the
firm by the bank 10 +. 4. Heinze, so as TO con-
form with the law. How likely is IL that Otto
He!nZe would have defaulted upon a contract TO
his relative In order To secure old loans upon
which the bank Was asking new collateral? l
can see no reasonable inference. even II Otto &
HeinZe saw the entries In the banks books that

natural motives and quite amazing stupidity TO
impute 10 him that intention. Report confirmed
