(No. 1103.)

Opinion:
HIGHTOWEB, C. J.
The only question for decision in this case is as to whether money on deposit in a bank that was paid to the surviving wife of a deceased employee as compensation under the Workman's Compensation Act of this state (Vernon's Ann. Civ. St. 1925, art. 8306 et seq.), is subject to garnishment by a creditor of the deceased. The trial court held that it was not, and. we affirm that holding. See Gaddy v. First National Bank, Garnishee (Tex. Civ. App.) 283 S. W. 277.
