Before LEWIS and KENYON, Circuit Judges, and JOHNSON, District Judge.
At the time of the matters in controversy in this case the Missouri & North Arkansas Railroad Company was in the hands of a receiver, appointed by the District Court of the United States in and for the Eastern District of Arkansas. On the 28th day of March, 1921, C. A. Phelan, receiver of the said Missouri & North Arkansas Railroad Company, filed a petition supported by affidavit of one Green, asking for issuance of a writ of attachment against Claude Binkley for contempt of court in violating a certain order of the court, which order had previously been issued and is as follows:
(Signed) Jacob Trieber, Judge.'
The court thereupon directed that writ of attachment issue against plaintiff in error, Claude Binkley. He was brought before the court and proceedings were duly had, resulting in a finding that said Claude Binkley had violated the order of the court and was in contempt.
On April 16, 1921, upon hearing, Binkley was adjudicated guilty of contempt, and it was ordered that he be confined in the county jail of Saline county for 60 days as punishment therefor. Counsel for plaintiff in error contends in argument that the cause is before this court for hearing de novo. We do not so understand the law. The Supreme Court of the United States in Bessette v. W. B. Conkey Co., 194 U.S. 324, 338, 24 Sup.Ct. 665, 671 (48 L.Ed. 997), says:
