Syllabus

<p>Sheriff's interpleader — Fraud— Validity of confessed judgment — Evidence.</p> <p>On a sheriff’s interpleader to determine the validity of a judgment for a large amount which a son while suits were pending against him had confessed to his father, the execution creditors have a right to show that the father was not of sufficient pecuniary ability to furnish his son the amount of money represented by the judgment; that he was pressed during the time when the alleged advances were being made for money with which to pay his taxes; that his real estate was heavily incumbered, and that he was actually insolvent.</p>
