But they practiced a deception and fraud upon the trustee in the course of the business which the trustee was carrying on. Their offense was against the peace and dignity of the government rather than disobedience to the particular injunction and command of the order of adjudication in bankruptcy. See In re Payman, D.C.N.Y., 36 F.2d 823; Wilson v. U.S., 8 Cir., 26 F.2d 215, 218; U.S. v. Mathews, D.C.N.Y., 1 F. Supp. 562, 563. No other order of the bankruptcy court concerning the control, conduct, or operation of the bankrupt properties is alleged to have been contravened by appellants. As it appeared that the appellants were bankrupt, it was, perhaps, considered useless to obtain orders or pursue other remedies against them.

Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of New York. In the matter of Henry Payman, alleged bankrupt. From an order [ 36 F.2d 823] directing Charles Struckler and another, alleged bankrupt's attorneys, to pay $1,000 to the receiver, made on motion of Robert Reis Co. and others, petitioning creditors, said attorneys appeal. Reversed, and petition dismissed.

The trustee may avoid any such transfer and recover "the property * * * or its value, from the person to whom it was transferred" (section 110, title 11 USCA), or from the person converting it. In re Payman (D.C.) 36 F.2d 823. From the filing of the petition the exchange seat was in custodia legis.
