Syllabus
<p>Wills. Insanity apparent from the instrument. Suicide. Supreme court practice.</p> <p>Where an alleged will, drawn in contemplation of suicide, contains matters irreconcilable with all theories of sanity and was manifestly the product of a mind wholly devoid of testamentary capacity, it should be adjudged void, and the supreme court will reverse a decree probating such an instrument.</p>
Judges: Ehetcher
