1Opinion of the CourtJustice Cardozo
What is before us is another chapter of a controversy that was here at the last term. Clark v. Williard, 292 U. S. 112.
The controversy is the outcome of conflicting claims to the Montana assets of an Iowa corporation. On the one side is the petitioner, the Insurance Commissioner of Iowa, claiming as official liquidator. On the other side are the respondents, judgment creditors of the corporation, armed with an execution which they insist upon the right to levy. If the petitioner prevails, there is equal distribution; if the respondents prevail, the race is to the swift.
