““In order to invalidate the mortgage of Hummel to Iluiskamp Bros., it must have been made with the intent on the part of Hummel to hinder and delay his other creditors, and Iluiskamp Bros, must have accepted it with the intent of assisting Hummel to hinder and delay his other creditors. A debtor being in failing circumstances and having the right to prefer a creditor, if the preferred creditor has a. bona tide debt, and takes a mortgage with the intent of securing such debt, and not with the purpose of aiding the debtor to hinder and delay other creditors, the mortgage is valid, even though the mortgagee knows that the debtor is insolvent, and that the debtor’s intention is to hinder and delay other creditors.””
