| Court | U.S. Supreme Court |
ERROR to the Supreme Court of the State of Missouri.
This was a suit brought in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri, against Leffingwell and the other defendants, to restrain and enjoin the sale of certain real estate in the city of St. Louis, under a deed of trust executed to secure the payment of a promissory note whereof the Atlas National Bank of Boston became the purchaser. The case was ultimately determined by the Supreme Court of the State reversing the decrees of the subordinate courts, and directing that the bill be dismissed. Swope sued out this writ of error.

Mr. Philip Phillips in support of the motions.
Mr. E. B. Sherzer, contra.
