1Opinion of the Court
FINLEY, Associate Justice.
This is an agreed case under article 1414 of the Revised Statutes, and the question presented for decision is as to the validity of a conveyance, commonly called deed of trust, executed by Steinlein & Co. to John H. Weaver, trustee, for the benefit of certain creditors. It is admitted that at the time the instrument was executed Steinlein & Co. were largely indebted and insolvent, and that all their property was covered by the conveyance. It is contended by appellants that the instrument contains certain provisions which render it void upon its face.
