court was in favor of the plaintiff,
T, G. C. Fahnestock, who claimed
property rights under a paper pur
porting to be tho last will and testa
ment of the late Mrs. Rosa Fahne
stock. This paper was not question
ed by either side as to its genuine
ness or authenticity, but the case
hinged on construction of the paper
-whether lt was to be considered a
part of the deceased's previous will,
or if it constituted a new will by rea
son of its language. The paper be
gan with the words "Item 10," but
In the body of this paper the state- J
ment was made that previous wills
were revoked. The lower court held
that the language of this paper con
stituted a new will and that it re
voked the previous will. The opin
ion in the case by the Supremo Court
has not as yet been transcribed and
handed down, but it is presumed
that the higher court construes the
paper In question as an Rom added to
the previously made will, which
closed with "Item 9" in the body
wherein property was disposed of. It
ls presumed that the Supreme Court's
decision will be taken as final by all
parties to the action.
