    "head_matter": "Ane C. Jensen, Appellant, v. Christian Peterson and Axel A. Bauer, Appellees.\nGen. No. 23,738.\n(Not to he reported in full.)\nAppeal from the Superior Court of Cook county; the Hon. Denis E. Suimvan, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the October term, 1917. Certiorari denied by Supreme Court (making opinion final).\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed May 13, 1918.\nStatement of the Case.\nBill by Ane C. Jensen; complainant, against Christian Peterson and Axel A. Bauer, defendants, to obtain a decree declaring null and void a second trust deed conveying certain premises to secure the payment of a principal note, with interest thereon, for the sum of $2,500. From a judgment dismissing the bill for want of equity, complainant appeals.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Mortgages, \u00a7 56 \u2014 when procurance of trust deed not shown to he fraudulent. There was no fraud in the procurance of a second trust deed from a widow to her interest as sole legatee and distributee in her husband\u2019s estate where before the trust deed was executed the grantee sincerely claimed that the grantor and her husband\u2019s estate were indebted to him, and if the grantee had filed a claim against the estate the wife would have received a smaller sum as her share of the estate.\n2. Contracts, \u00a7 78* \u2014 what is sufficient to support promise. A compromise of a doubtful right is sufficient to support a promise where there is an absence of fraud and both parties act in good faith.\n3. Mortgages, \u00a7 54* \u2014 when execution of trust deed not against best interests of widow. The execution of a trust deed by a widow, who is the sole legatee and distributee of her husband\u2019s estate, to her equity in the estate, for a debt owed by the estate, is not against her best interests where the claim was clearly provable against the estate.\n4. Mortgages, \u00a7 5* \u2014 what constitutes good consideration for trust deed by widow. The failure of the creditor of a husband to file a claim against his estate, after his death, at the request of the wife, affords a good consideration for the execution of a trust deed by the wife on her equity as sole legatee and distributee in the estate.\nD. Ryan Twomey, for appellant.\nEmil A. Meyer, for appellees.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
