In re the Probate of the Last Will of Richter
Opinion of the Court
This case is not free from doubt, but the evidence does hot convince me that the will was forged. I cannot usefully add anything to the opinion of the judge of the orphans court, with which I concur. Three witnesses of respectability testify to the execution. Neither to the draftsman, nor to the other two witnesses, does the will give anything. It was just such a will as .the testator would naturally have made. There is not the slightest independent evidence of a conspiracy to commit forgery and perjury entered 'into between these witnesses and the widow. Under these circumstances I think the decree of the orphans court should be affirmed.
