““The rule is perfectly well settled that where two suits are pending between the same parties, — the one in the state court, and the other in the federal court, —the object of both suits being to secure the same relief, where the relief sought is the enforcement of a lien against specific property, to administer trusts, or liquidate insolvent estates, and in all other suits of a similar nature, where in the progress of the litigation the court may be compelled to assume the possession and control of specufie personal or real property, the court which first acquired jurisdiction of the issue and service of process must be .allowed to proceed with the hearing of the ease to final judgment or decree, without interference on the part of the other court 'wherein the suit is pending.””
