Action by Tony Genduso against Joseph Ferrara and wife, on a note and for foreclosure of a real estate mortgage, wherein judgment was rendered for plaintiff, the mortgaged property was sold by the sheriff, and a receiver was appointed for part of the real estate during the redemption period.

Transferred from Appellate Court under Burns' Ann.St.1933, § 4-218.

Everett J. Fletcher, F. J. Wiltrout, and Ray C. Thomas, all of Gary, for appellee.
