1Opinion of the Court
Slater, S.
Difficult questions arise in this construction proceeding due to the fact that, when the will was executed on April 30, 1927, the financial affairs of the decedent were in better condition than when he died. The codicil was executed on August *58316, 1930, and his death occurred on September 19, 1930. The estate at death consisted largely of real property, well mortgaged, the equity valued at about $150,000. The personal property, money in the bank, did not exceed $2,000.
The gifts of money legacies in the will amounted to $28,000. This was reduced by the codicil to $20,000.
