Opinion

LOWELL, District Judge.

The witness cannot refuse to answer questions concerning his dealings, etc., with the bankrupt, on the ground that his answer may furnish evidence against him in a civil case, brought or to be brought on behalf • of the assignee. The main, if not the only, purpose of the statute authorizing such an examination is to enable the assignee to obtain evidence for civil suits, or to ascertain that there is no such evidence.
