Bogdis v. Johnson
Bogdis v. Johnson
Opinion of the Court
This is the second appearance of this case in this court, and reference is made to the former decision in Johnson v. Bogdis, 205 Ga. 535 (54 S. E. 2d, 620), for a full statement of the allegations of the equitable petition seeking to set aside a judgment of the court of ordinary awarding a year’s support and to enjoin the widow from disposing of the property so set apart. In the first division of that opinion it was said: “ . . the allegations of the petition charge, among other things, that the defendant, who was executrix of the will of her deceased husband, promised the brother of the plaintiffs that she would not apply for a year’s support, and requested that the brother notify the plaintiffs, who lived in Greece and were beneficiaries under the will,
A careful reading of the brief of evidence in this case discloses that the evidence now before the court is substantially the same as that introduced on the hearing of the interlocutory injunction, and we now hold, as we did then, that the evidence adduced upon the trial failed to prove the case as alleged, in that there is no evidence that the defendant made any representations or promises to the brother of the plaintiffs that she would not apply for a year’s support, or that she made any request that the brother notify the plaintiffs, who lived in Greece and were beneficiaries under the will, of any such promise. The plaintiffs having failed to make out a prima facie case, it was proper for the trial court to grant a nonsuit. Johnson v. Bogdis, supra; Taylor v. Gates, 206 Ga. 880 (59 S. E. 2d, 365).
Judgment affirmed.
