Opinion by

Mr. Chief Justice Schaffer,

This controversy is presented on a case stated. It arises out of a separation and maintenance agreement between husband and wife executed on July 15, 1926. They have been divorced since September 24, 1926. The point at issue is whether under the terms of the agreement the husband is indebted to the wife, and, if so, in what amount. The court below determined he'was not indebted to her. This led to an appeal to us by the wife.

The agreement provides that the husband will pay to the wife.within thirty days from its date $2,000 in cash and also $400 per year…
