1. ““In the case of Magic City Coal & Feed Co. v. Lewis, 164 Ky. 454 , 175 S. W. 992 , we said that, if the circumstances under which the transfer is made are suspicious, the failure of the party to produce available explanatory or' rebutting evidence is a badge of fraud. And in the case of McDonough v. McGowan, 165 Ky. 425 , 177 S. W. 277 , we held that, where badges of fraud are proven, the grantee must establish that the transaction was bona fide. This the appellant has failed to do in this case after the appellee had abundantly proven the badges of fraud and indeed the actual fraud on the part of the grantor, Cordelia Combs. The chancellor found as a matter of fact that this conveyance was a fraudulent one within the inhibition of section 1906 of the Statutes, and that the appellant was not a bona fide purchaser. ’ ’”
