Holding
The court held that the purchase of an insolvent estate's property by the assignee's attorney at a public sale was presumptively void and created a constructive trust in favor of the creditors, and that the statute of limitations for challenging the transaction began to run only upon the creditors' discovery of the attorney's repudiation of any trust obligations.
