Wingate, S.

This question is raised by the widow’s prayer for a construction of the will, the issue being whether the document, which was executed on June 8, 1930, and admitted to probate on April 29, 1933, was revoked as to the widow by the intermediate intermarriage of the testator with the widow, which occurred on June 18, 1930.
