1Opinion of the Court
Petty, S.—
The will offered for probate by the petitioner named therein as .sole executor, bears date March 6, 1896, and is properly executed as a last will. No objections are offered to its form or the manner of its execution, but probate is opposed on the ground that it is not the last will made by deceased. It is claimed by contestants that a later will was made by deceased, in or about the month of May, 1891, revoking the will now presented for probate and in substantiation of the objections parol evidence is offered.
Contestants have been unable to find and produce the alleged later will.
