1Opinion of the Court

J. B. McPHERSON, District Judge.

In Re Gitkin (D. C.) 21 Am. Bankr. Rep. 113, 164 Fed. 71, Judge Holland lias made a careful examination of the questions presented -when a bankrupt, who is under examination before a referee, persistently makes false or evasive answers, although it is evident that he must be able to reply fully and correctly, and has held that such conduct justifies the court in punishing the bankrupt-for contempt. See, also, a similar ruling by Judge Hough in Re Fellerman (D. C.) 149 Fed. 244, and by Judge Holt in Re Schulman (D. C.) 21 Am. Bankr. Rep. 288, 167 Fed. 237.
