1Opinion of the Court
Wingate, S.
The question here litigated concerns the status of two groups of would-be contestants of the will of this decedent. The first consists of Lilia Brown Hinds, Anna Marie Wheeler and Arthur A. Brown, who assert their status by reason of the alleged fact that their mother, Lilia Brown, was an adopted daughter of the present decedent’s father, Virgil Whitcomb. The second group consists of Annie Marie McCue and William T. White, whose asserted relationship is traced through Adele T. White, who is claimed to be a legitimate daughter of the blood of the present decedent’s father.
