HICKMAN,' C. J.
This case'is a sequel to case No. 963, Bob Dodgion, Garnishee, v. J. M. Radnford Grocery Company, 50 S.W.(2d) 837, this day decided by this court. In the former case ap-pellee obtained a judgment against Dodgion as garnishee. It then caused a writ of garnishment to be served upon appellant for the purpose' of collecting its judgment against Dodgion. The answer admitted that Dodgion, as assignee of Joe McCarty, had money on deposit with it, but disclosed that the amount on deposit was not sufficient to pay the creditors of McCarty more than 25 per cent, on their claims. It further alleged that the judgment against Dodgion in the former case was void, because the assets in his hands did not belong to Joe McCarty, but were held by him as an assignee for the benefit of McCarty's accepting creditors. Dodgion also answered in this ease, adopting the answer of appellant. Judgment was rendered against appellant on its answer, from which this appeal is prosecuted.
It is obvious that this case is controlled by our decision in the companion case above referred to, and, for the reason therein assigned, the judgment of the trial court will be reversed and here rendered for appellant.
