Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court March 3, 1899 (Wilcox v. Forbes)

Holmes, J.

This is a bill to have certain instruments can-celled, on the ground that the maker of them, since deceased, was of unsound mind. At the hearing the plaintiffs put in evidence that the deceased was suffering from senile dementia, and offered some photographs of him in corroboration, which he asked the judge to rule to be admissible for that purpose.
