Syllabus

<p>Will — Unattested alterations — Presumption—Signature at end.</p> <p>1. Unattested alterations in a will though proved to have been made by the testator, in the absence of any evidence showing when they were made, will be presumed to have been made after execution.</p> <p>2. Where a will was written on the fourth page of a sheet of letter paper, and was signed by the testatrix at the foot of such page and there attested by two subscribing witnesses, and at the top of the third page was an unsigned and unattested clause appointing an executor, the appellate court will sustain the probate of such a paper as a will, excluding the matter on the third page, where the orphans’ court has found from sufficient evidence that the writing on the third page was placed there after the execution of the writing on the fourth page.</p>
