15 F.2d 848 (4th Cir. 1926)

Opinion

No. 2561.

November 17, 1926.

Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke, in Bankruptcy; Henry Clay McDowell, Judge.

Emma V. Willis was adjudged bankrupt on petition of the Blue Ridge Bank, Inc., and others, and she appeals. Affirmed.

L.H. Shrader, of Amherst, Va., and W.J. Henson, of Roanoke, Va. (Jackson Henson, of Roanoke, Va., and B.G. Howard, of Floyd, Va., on the brief), for appellant.

J.W. McCauley, of Roanoke, Va. (J.E. Proffit, of Floyd, Va., on the brief), for appellees.

Before ROSE and PARKER, Circuit Judges, and WATKINS, District Judge.


The appellant says she should not have been adjudicated a bankrupt, because she was engaged chiefly in farming. The referee who saw and heard the witnesses held that she was not. The District Judge was of the same opinion. We would not be justified in disturbing their conclusion, unless we were convinced that they were wrong. In fact, we think they were right.

Affirmed.
