Syllabus

<p>Decedents' estates — Olairn for services — Parent and child — Evidence.</p> <p>A claim by a son against his father’s estate for services as general superintendent and manager of the affairs of his father when living, is sufficiently established where three disinterested and credible witnesses testify to hearing a conversation' wherein the father promised the son that if he would go on as he had been doing he would receive at his father’s death enough to keep him for the balance of his days, and this is confirmed by the testimony of four witnesses as to declarations of the father to an intent to provide for the son if he continued to do as he had formerly done.</p>
