Judge Carroll
Reversing.
The question in this ease is whether Newton and Robert Meade are to he treated as the legitimate children of William D. Meade and as snch entitled to a share of his estate. The solution of this question depends on the proper construction of section 1398 of the Kentucky Statutes, reading: “If a man having had a child by a woman *547shall afterwards marry her, such child or its descendants, if recognized by him before or after marriage, shall be deemed legitimate,” and the applicability of this statute to the facts of this case.
