[In bankruptcy. In the matter of John Green.)
1Opinion of the Court
HOPKINS, District Judge.
Bichard Green proved a claim of $7,715.16 against the bankrupt’s estate, and James Norris of $1,877.23. The assignee moves to expunge Norris’ claim and to reduce Green’s. The grounds upon which the motion is made are, that the contracts upon which the claims are based were void, first, by the statute of frauds, and second, that they were gaming contracts. In the view I have taken of the case, it is only necessary to consider the latter. There has been considerable testimony taken, and it is in some respects quite contradictory, but I think the conflict is more apparent…
