While the fact of said death between the- submission and decision does not impair the validity of the judgment, in order to preserve all rights thereunder, said judgment is hereby set aside, said opinion and mandate recalled, and the clerk of this court is directed to refile said opinion and enter the judgment of this court in said cause nunc pro tunc, as of the date when said cause was submitted.
