IN A DUAL CAPACITY. A Trustee In Bankruptcy May Also Act as Attorney. Attorney C. A. Van Woimer, leferee in bankruptcy, made an important ruling on n disputed point In bank ruptcy proceedings. It Is to the effect that a person can act both as a tntstee and attorney. The lullng in full is. "A tiustee ap pointed by creditors of a bankrupt, being an attorney-at-law, where ho perfoims legal services for the benefit of the estate of which he Is trustee, may receive out of the funds in his hands compensation for the set vices rendcied as an attorney." In neaily every case of bankruptcy an attorney is chosen as tiustee. lleio tofore they have taken it foi granted that thev could not act in the dual capacity of tiustee and attorney. Ref eiee Van Wormer's decision deciees that they can. The decision was based on a ruling made In the state couits by Chief Justice Stertltt, in Petk'ns" appeal, 108 Pa. St., p. 3)9. The eiuestlon was lalsed in the bank tuptcy court by Attorney II. S. Al woith, trustee of the estate of F. 13. Mitchell. The case of B 13. Leonaid was yes terday lefeued to Mr. Van Woimer by Judge Buffington. Cot tain credltots al lege that Mr Leonard Is insolvent and want him declaied a bankrupt.
