J. E. Lawrence died in March, 1916, leaving a wife and five children, Mrs. Estoiia Walters and four others. During his life Lawrence executed a deed conveying the entire property in controversy to his wife, Mrs. Mary Lawrence. The children of J. E. Lawrence brought suit against the widow for the recovery by each of a one-sixth undivided interest in the property; and they sought to have the deed declared void on the ground that the grantor was insane at the time of the execution thereof. A special demurrer to one paragraph of the petition was filed by the defendant, and was overruled after the petition was amended so as to meet the special demurrer. On the conclusion of the plaintiffs ’ evidence the defendant moved for a nonsuit, which was refused, and the defendant excepted. The defendant then offered evidence; and the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs. A motion for new trial was overruled, and the defendant excepted.
Judgment affirmed.
