Syllabus

<p>Decedents’ estates — Claim for services — Insufficient evidence.</p> <p>A claim against a decedent’s estate for personal services alleged to have been rendered the decedent in her lifetime by a husband and wife, was properly disallowed where the only evidence in support of such claim was that when decedent thought she was about to die she attempted to make out a check for the amount of her bank balance to one of the claimants, and was prevented from so doing by physical weakness; that the services had been rendered prior to such time; that decedent and the claimants were intimate friends and the latter had visited deceased constantly during her last illness, and the husband had attended to her financial affairs, but had made no charges for their services in his books; and there was no evidence as to the value of such service.</p>
