1Opinion of the Court
Waterman, J. —
The will in question, after giving, one-third of testator’s estate to his wife, in lieu of dower,' bequeaths $1 to a son, Gilford. D.. Trotter, and a like, amount *418to a grandson, Rufus Trotter, and then gives all the residue of the estate to testator’s other five children, naming them. The-contest is made by the grandson, and, as stated in the argument of counsel for contestants, also by the son Gilford D. Many errors are assigned, of which only a few are argued. We think we have done our duty when we dispose of those which counsel consider important enough to discuss. •
