APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF
THE TERRITORY OF NEW MEXICO

Syllabus

Under the law of New Mexico of 1901, providing that both husband and wife must join in conveyances of real estate acquired during coverture, a deed of the husband in which the wife does not join is ineffectual to convey community property even though acquired prior to the passage of the act.

The facts are stated in the opinion.
