Pasternak v. Mashak

DOERNER, Commissioner.

This is an action to contest the will of Elizabeth Milanko, who died on December 22, 1959, at the approximate age of 70. Upon a trial to a jury a verdict was returned finding that the paper writing produced and read in evidence was not the will of the deceased. Judgment was entered in accordance with the verdict, and after post-trial motions proved unavailing, proponent, individually and as executor, appealed to the Supreme Court. Ruling that it lacked appellate jurisdiction, that court transferred the cause to this court. Pasternak v. Mashak, Mo., 383 S.W.2d 760.
