Caton, C. J.

¶1I concur in this judgment, and all that is said in reference to the deposition. But under the record as it is now found in fact to exist, all that is said in this and the former opinion, as to the rights of the posthumous child, are but obiter dicta, as there is now no evidence that there is such a child. In this I do not concur.

¶2Judgment reversed.
