1Opinion of the Court
MOSCOWITZ, District Judge.
The Trustee in bankruptcy of the bankrupt seeks to review the order of the Referee denying his motion directing Louis Hookerman to turn over money to the Trustee in bankruptcy.
A decision of the Referee upon the facts should not be lightly disturbed as he had an opportunity to observe the witnesses, their demeanor and manner of testifying.
The law is as stated by the Referee that the Trustee is required to prove present ability to comply with a turnover order. See In re Pinsky-Lapin & Co., 2 Cir., 98 F.2d 776.
It is claimed the respondent was too ill to appear before…
