| Court | New Jersey Supreme Court |
Appeal from Prerogative Court. The decree of the Prerogative Court (71 Atl. 670) affirmed a decree of the Morris county orphans' court admitting to probate the last will and testament of Esther J. Cooper, deceased, and Carrie L. G. Harrison and others appeal. Affirmed.
C. Franklin Wilson and John M. Mills, for appellants.
Willard W. Cutler and Charlton A. Reed, for respondents.
