1Per curiam
This cause in different, phases has been several times before this court. In Israel v. Arthur, 7 Colo. 5, the decrees of the county court whereby John Arthur undertook to obtain a divorce from his wife Abbie were held to be void for want of jurisdiction. The matter then considered by the court was limited to the question of the validity of said decrees as they appeared of record; and upon the face of the record, without more, the decrees were held insufficient to debar Mrs. Israel from asserting her claim as widow and heir to John Arthur, deceased.
