COMMUNITY PROPERTY DECISION.
Supreme Court Holds That No Com
munity Exists Whore spouses Separate.


munity Exists Who're spouses Separate.
OLYHPTA. Dec H-fSpecial Tho supreme
court today alsd another important decision in
line with those recently handed down constru-
ing the community property law Of this state.
The case decided today II that Of Oscar Nuhn
ct al. " Charles Miller ct al, from Pierce
county. Charles Miller came to Washington in
1880, leaving . wife In Pennsylvania who had
left him In 1874 In 1855 Miller married one
Mary Smith, was subsequently, divorced from
her and afterward married her again She Is now
dead. since coming TO Washington Miller has
acquired considerable real estate some of which,
including the tract involved in this case, be has
sold. In 1890 his Pennsylvania wife became
aware OF the sale OF this land and subss quenty
claimed an interest in il and the present suit
visa brought by the purchasers TO quiet title.
Miller aud his first wife, who have apparently
made up, resisted ths suit on the ground that
the land was community property and that az
she did not join in the deed, the conveyance
was void. The supreme court affirmed the
judgment OF the lower court that the
conveyance was valid one, and
holds that the community relationship be-
tween Miller and his wife was not in
existence at the time he came TO Washington, as
to third parties acting n good faith, and that
it was never subsequently in force; that prior
20 the conveyance husband and wife had sepa-
rated, and the community relationship had be-
tary acts. and that the vile forfeited her rights
20 the land by placing her husband in position
where he could palm himself OF as a single
man.
The opinion iudorses the views expressed by
Judge Hoyt in aconcurring opinion in the case
OF Sadlcr NeiSz, also filed today. in which
the nature OF the community Is stated exhaust
lively. Judge Goyt says in part:
There must IN my opinion. DO such an asser-
ton of hs or her rights by each OF the spouses
as are ordinarily and reasonably 10 DO expected
from the fact OF the existence OF such relations,
or else the community does not exist so far as
tho pubic. having no knowledge of the legal
relation of husband aud wife, are concerned.
III either OF the spouSes sees nj TO allow the
other spouse 10 act and represent him or herself
q single person. under such circumstances,
and for such time would induce
persons of reasonable prudence. with whom
such spouse associated. to believe that he or She
was in fact single person, then, think, that
20 long this state OF facts exists, there is no
such community existing between the spouses
as was contemplated by the legislation upon the
subject OF the conveyance of community prop
erty.
Judgment in the case OF A. J. Littlejohu ct 81
We Charles Miller ct al, Involving a similar sale
by Miller. WAS reversed because plaintiffs hal
not paid the purchase price.
