In the Matter of the Will of Ada W. Putnam, Deceased. Edith I. Smith, Appellant; Richard H. Mitchell, Respondent

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the Surrogate's order admitting the will of Ada W. Putnam to probate. It held that the clerk‑witness's testimony was not barred by attorney‑client privilege, that the testatrix's statements about her lawyer were admissible to show mental capacity but not to prove undue influence, and that the trial court did not err in admitting the will.
