In re NELSON’S WILL.
(Supreme Court, General Term, Second Department.
February 13, 1893.)

Headnote

Appeal from surrogate court, Westchester county.
Proceeding for the probate of the will of Augustus Nelson, deceased, by which testator’s entire property was given to one Rosalinda Nelson, who was not related to him. The will was admitted to probate, and testator’s two sisters and a nephew, who were his next of kin, appeal. Affirmed.
Argued before BARNARD, P. J., and DYKMAN and PRATT, J J.
E. C. Neil, for appellant.
Frost & Manser, for respondents.

This is an appeal from a decree of the surrogate of Westchester county, admitting to probate the last will and testament of Augustus Nelson, deceased. The contestants filed the usual objections to the will, but they were not pnly unsubstantiated, but they were disproven by the proponent of the will. The appeal is destitute of merit, and the decree should be affirmed, with costs of the appeal to be paid by the appellants.
