Opinion by
Mr. Justice Walling,
This is an appeal by the administrators d. b. n. c. t. a. of the estate of John Lortz, deceased, from the judgment of the court below holding that they were without authority to make sale of the real estate of said deceased, and involves the same questions as the case of Strife, Trustee, v. Wolf, filed herewith.
For reasons there given the judgment is affirmed.
