   Enloe, J.

— The appellant having shown prima facie error, the failure of the appellee to file a brief will, under the authority of Burroughs v. Burroughs (1913), 180 Ind. 380, 103 N. E. 1, and Roberts v. Fessler (1920), 74 Ind. App. 333, 128 N. E. 359, be treated as a confession of error.

The judgment is therefore reversed, with directions to set aside the order dismissing appellant’s complaint, and for further proceedings.
