1Opinion of the Court
GOODRICH, Circuit Judge.
This case presents the often recurring situation of two people who, doing busi ness in the ordinary course, have been fooled by a swindler. The swindler disappears or goes to jail. Which of the two parties is to bear the loss his ras-cality has occasioned?
The trial court made very full findings of fact on the history of the dealings among the parties and also the facts of the immediate transactions out of which this suit arose. Those extensive findings need not be repeated here. See D.C.E.D. Pa.1953, 112 F.Supp. 761.
