Syllabus

<p>Divorce — Vacation of Decree — Collusive Suit — Petition for Vacation — Sufficiency. A decree of divorce will not be vacated at the suit of the successful plaintiff, for fraud in obtaining it, and her petition is demurrable for want of sufficient facts, where the gist of the-petition was that her husband represented to her that the marriage embarrassed him financially and that he would get his business-affairs adjusted and remarry her within six months, and otherwise he would be compelled to leave the state and he would give her no financial assistance, it being alleged that she was finally persuaded to bring the action, consenting to go before the court and tell the-exact situation, which it appears she did not do, the inference from the allegations being that she testified falsely or suppressed material facts in the trial of the divorce case, resulting in findings sustaining-the decree of divorce; since the petition shows nothing more than a. collusive arrangement to obtain a divorce.</p>
