In the Matter of the Accounting of Frieda Hinsch et al., as Executors of Louise Diehl, Deceased, Appellants.
    Christine M. Rohrbaugh, Respondent.
    
      Decedent’s estate — alleged contract of decedent to bequeath sum, of money to claimant in consideration of services to be rendered — sufficiency of evidence to sustain claim.
    
    
      Matter of Hinsch, 209 App. Div. 828, affirmed.
    (Argued September 30, 1924;
    decided October 14, 1924.)
    Appeal from an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the second judicial department, entered May 9, 1924, which affirmed a decree of the Kings County Surrogate’s Court allowing a claim against the estate of Louise Diehl, deceased. The issue involved arose upon the respondent’s claim that the decedent agreed that, in consideration of the respondent’s promises to live with her and to render services as housekeeper and nurse, she, the decedent, would, by will, provide for the payment to the respondent of $25,000. The sole question was as to whether there was any evidence to support the decree of the surrogate.
    
      Alden S. Crane for appellants.
    
      Herbert T. Ketcham and Benjamin Eisler for respondent.
   Order affirmed, with costs; no opinion.
