Syllabus

<p>Husband and Wipe- — Divorce — Conveyance — Consideration — Duress — Evidence — Sufficiency. A deed of community property from wife to husband, in contemplation of a divorce sought by the husband, will not be set aside for fraud and duress in the threat of a criminal prosecution, where the preponderance of the evidence was to the effect that the husband only threatened to obtain a divorce on the ground of adultery unless the deed was made, and that the wife acted freely with full knowledge of the circumstances.</p> <p>Same — Conveyances—-Vacation—Evidence—Admissibility. In an action to set aside a deed made in contemplation of a divorce, evidence as to a defense to the divorce action is inadmissible when the decree of divorce was not attacked.</p>
