Syllabus
<p>1. Bankruptcy — Discharge—Concealment of Property.</p> <p>Where a bankrupt conveyed real estate by an absolute deed, more than two years prior to the bankruptcy, in order to constitute a fraudulent concealment by failing to schedule the same, which will defeat the right to a discharge, objecting creditors must show that the bankrupt still retains a secret interest in the property. It is not sufficient that it may have been conveyed in fraud of creditors, but it must still be in fact the property of the bankrupt’s estate.</p>
