Pigler v. Pigler
Supreme Court of South Carolina · Decided July 23, 1918 · Gage
96 S.E. 991; 110 S.C. 556; 1918 S.C. LEXIS 94 (South Eastern Reporter)

Pigler v. Pigler

Opinion of the Court

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Mr. Justice Gage.

This appeal is from a judgment entered upon a j'ury’s verdict, whereby the jury found against a paper proposed as the will of W. H. Pigler. The verdict was: (1) That the *557 paper propounded was not the will of Pigler; (2) that the paper was not signed in the presence of three witnesses; and (3) that the testator did not have mental capacity to make a will.

There are three exceptions, two of them to the competency of testimony of G. W. Pigler, and one to the charge of the Court. A brief of the testimony is not printed in the case, and we, therefore, have no way to judge of its competency. Only a short section of the charge is printed; but that much of it is in accord with our decisions. See Ex parte McKie, 107 S. C. 72, 91 S. E. 978.

The judgment is affirmed.
