No will was found. There is submitted a ribbon copy of the aforesaid instrument bearing date the 10th day of April, 1946, and an executed carbon copy of said instrument bearing the same date. The ribbon copy was filed with this court on the 11th day of April, 1946, while the carbon copy was submitted with the petition. The said instruments recite their making, publishing and establishing as my Revocation of any Will and Testament heretofore executed by me. ’’ They name no legatee or executor.
