"Where a conveyance is made ... it is said that the conveyance will stand if the grantor reserves a sufficient amount of property to pay his creditors. But this means a sufficient amount of property not merely at *594 the time of the transfer, but an amount from which in the final analysis the creditors are able to collect their indebtedness in full.”

The opinion

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Mr. ChiEE Justice Stabler.

I regret that I am unable to agree with Mr. Justice Baker that the judgment in this case should be reversed in part. A careful study of the record convinces me that Judge Oxner correctly decided all questions involved. His order, therefore, which will be reported, is affirmed

in toto.

Messrs. Justices Carter and Bonham concur.

Messrs. Justices BakEr and Fisi-iburne dissent.
