HAMITER, Justice.
John D. Sales was killed in a motor vehicle collision near the City of Oakdale on March 13, 1954. Thereafter Dillard Cloud and Frank Singletary, because of their negligence which proximately cause the death, were condemned by the District Court of Allen Parish to pay to decedent’s widow Mrs. Bessie L. Sales (for herself and her minor children) damages in the sum of $21,-000.
The judgment was affirmed by the First Circuit Court of Appeal. See Sales v. Cloud, La.App., 88 So.2d 251. And on September 28, 1956, it became final by our denial of a writ of certiorari.
