District Court, S.D. New York November 15, 1907 (In re Alper)

HORT, District Judge.

This is a writ of habeas corpus to test the validity of the imprisonment of Israel Alper. Alper is a bankrupt, who was adjudged guilty of contempt by the District Court for not producing and delivering to the receiver in bankruptcy certain books of account. The sole question upon this application is whether the court had jurisdiction to make the order.
