this question being put to the witness
did he (Chamberlain) say the deeds
or mortgages were made before OF
after the bankruptcy" Answer: He
told me the papers were made after
the failure Of Burr & Knapp"
On cross examination by Mr.. Pull
man, witness added "He told me the
mortgage was not made out until after
the failure Of Burr & Knapp"
In the offering of the application OF
Burr & Knapp to the Connecticut
courts for receiver in which the attor-
ney for petitioning creditors said that
he wished to show that in other re-
spects Mr.. Chamberlain has failed to
protect creditors counsel for defense
objected upon the ground that such
action was ''the most Ubiquitous pro-
ceedings he had ever heard Of"
Later counsel for the trustee added
to his statement that even though it
should be shown by evidence that
Chamberlain was guilty Of miscon-
duct in the state courts, which would
be vigorously denied, such misconduct
could not be held against him in his
conduct in the federal courts, now in
question.
Luther Brown recalled to, the wit
ness chair testified Chamberlain as
serted with reference to Fairview
Lawn. contracts: Those contracts had
been assigned over to him to secure
his $4,000. He said the assignment
was after the failure Of Burr &
Knapp"
A paragraph Of the application to
the state courts by Burr & Knapp for
the appointment of a receiver, which
later resulted in the appointment Of
Atty. Chamberlain in that capacity,
showed that there was "a valuable
good will and the partners could not
agree" This evidence was temper
arily stricken from the records with
the understanding that Herbert M.
Knapp would be recalled to the stand
to testify to this application in per-
son.
Evidence was admitted to show that
as receiver for Burr & Knapp, Cham
berlain had sold 1006 shares of the
City Title & Guaranty Co. to Hervey
Burr for $500. The receivers account
as kept by a clerk in the Title Guar
anty & Trust Co.'s office disclosed this
amount had never been collected by
the receiver but had been debited to
his account until collected some time

Attorney Bowers introduced evidence
tending to show that Attorney Cham

courts. A lapse Of time was also
shown between the sale Of the insur-
ance records and complete payment
by check, this lapse amounting in
fact to an extension OF credit to the
purchaser.
Orders for sale and confirmation OF
sale records held by Referee Banks
We're introduced in evidence to show
that the Title Guaranty & Trust Co..
though claiming the record books of
Burr & Knapp are not justly entitled
to them except those relating directly
to the insurance business and so spec
if1ed by the court.
The last report of the trustee in the
estate Of Burr & Knapp, offered To
the court discloses that assets to the
amount Of but $S7,275.63 have as yet
been collected.
Miss Florence. w Allen, chief clerk
| in the Office Of Referee Banks, testj-
fed that in the receipt of proofs OF
claims large number Of proxies were
found to have been attached and
signed by creditors before C. J. Knapp,
Miss Pennoyer, or Attorneys Hull d
Morehouse. Because of the seeming
irregularity Judge Judge Banks re-
fused to accept them.
Attorney Bowers attempted to offer
records of vote taken at the first
meeting OF creditors, at which Cham
berlafn was elected trustee, to show
that because of the preponderance OF
the vote in favor of his election, Judge
Banks could do nothing under the
federal practise but confirm the APP
pointment. Referee Hoadley refus.d
to permit the evidence upon the
ground that the facts were self-evf-
dent and the records would be need
lessly encountered.
In substantiatfon Of Attorney Bow
er's outlined intention to show the
court "premeditated scheme to turn
all the assets over to the Title Guar
anty e. Trust Co, thereby freezing ont
the other creditors a series of letters
between o. A. Coleman, vice presi-
dent Of the Georgia Loan & Trust Co.
