Criss, Judge of the Vigo Circuit Court, Defendant, for a writ of mandate and prohibition to stay the execution of a judgment entered in the Probate Division of the Vigo Circuit Court on April 20, 1959.

On July 17, 1959, respondent filed his verified return to the temporary writ, showing the court reasons in law and fact why the writ should be dissolved.
This case having come before the court for consideration, it is now determined that the temporary writ heretofore issued is dissolved and a permanent writ is denied.
