Supreme Court of Louisiana
Appeal from Fifteenth Judicial District Court, Parish of Jefferson Davis; Alfred M. Barbe, Judge. Suit by Mrs. Emma Broussard Demarets against Dorsin Demarets. Judgment for defendant, and plaintiff appeals.
1Opinion of the CourtO’Niedl, J.
This suit was brought by a widow to recover a half interest in a tract of land that was sold by her husband to the defendant.
The plaintiff alleged that the property had belonged to the marital community that was dissolved by the death of her husband, Elie T. Demarets, and that he had given a false and simulated deed of sale to the defendant, his brother, for the pretended price of $2,-000, but without any real price or consideration whatever, and for the fraudulent purpose of depriving her of her half interest in the property, at a time when he and she had quarreled and separated.
