Abstract of the Decision.

1. Creditors’ suit, § 56*—when evidence is sufficient to show fraudulent procurement of loan and use of proceeds. Evidence held sufficient to show that certain of the defendants, the judgment debtor and her husband, obtained possession of complainant’s money deliberately and by the use of grossest fraud, that they did not obtain a loan of money from the other defendants for the purpose of enabling them to get possession of the certificate of purchase of certain real estate in question, and that they in fact used complainant’s money to-procure the certificate.

2. Creditors’ suit, § 56 * —when evidence is sufficient to show fraudulent assignment of certificate of purchase' of real estate. Evidence held sufficient to warrant the finding that the assignment of a certificate of purchase of certain real estate in question by the judgment debtor defendant to another defendant was done for the purpose of defrauding the debtor’s creditors and in particular the complainant, and was without consideration in a creditor’s bill on such judgment.

3. Equity, § 313*—what evidence is sufficient to overcome allegation of sworn answer. The allegations of defendants’ sworn answer which, directly met the allegations of the bill, held overcome by the testimony of two witnesses or the equivalent thereof. *5404.
