of it as nearly as may be, and establishing one or more of the following particulars: (A) That the defendant has removed, or begun to remove, any of his property out of the

jurisdiction of the court with intent to defraud his creditors; (B) That he has begun to convert his property, or a part thereof, into money for the

purpose of placing it beyond the reach of his creditors; (C) That he has property, or rights of action, which he fraudulently conceals; (D) That he has assigned, removed, disposed of, or begun to dispose of his property,

or a part of it, with intent to defraud his creditors; (E) That he fraudulently contracted the debt or incurred the obligation for which suit
