New York Supreme Court May 15, 1876 (Morris v. Porter)

Van Vorst, J.

The plaintiffs in their complaint insist that the paper subscribed by Anne Morris on the 13th day of June, 1871, as and for her last will and testament, was not duly executed by her and is not her will. That she did not sign the paper in the presence of the witnesses thereto, and did not acknowledge to them that the same was her last will and did not request them to witness the same.
