DECIDES
ARMOUR MERCHANT
ROBBED HIMSELF
Orders Cantonwine to Turn
Over $4,000 of Stolen
Money, and Do 1t Quick.

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 2S-Referee
Muller in the famous C~antonwlne
bankruptcy case has decided that Can
tonwine and his wife Maggie have en-
tered into a conspiracy to cheat their
creditors.
Cantonwine claimed that on Septem-
Der 1S, he was robbed of $4,000 in cash
which prevented him paying that
amount to his numerous creditors.
Soon after the alleged robbery, Can
tonwine went into bankruptcy and
placed his liabilities at $60, 900.
In his findings. Referee Muller holds
that the story of the robbery was a
fake, pure and simple. that Canton
wine and his wife have still got pos
session of the money and that they
have hid it IN order to avoid paying
their debts.
He orders C~antonwine to turn over
$12, 500 of the stolen money and do 1t
quick. Furthermore, the trustee is en-
titled to a judgment setting aside GER
tain c~onveyances by which Canton
wine transferred property to his wife,
and requiring both Cantonwine and his
wife, both of whom We're
in the action, to deliver to the trustee.
notes described in the findings, and
which were given by Cantonwine to his
wife to secure alleged loans of money
made by her to him.
In case CantonWine does not turn
over the money as ordered, they VIII
be arrested for contempt of court, IL
Judge Garland confirms the findings OF
Referee Muller.
