Yates v. Jeans (A.), 345 S.W.2d 657. (1974) Subsequent to execution and attestation of will testator wrote "nine" over word "ten" and wrote "9" over figure "10" and marked through and circled name of one of the distributees of the remaining nine-tenths of his estate intending to eliminate such person as a distributee. Court held that effect of alterations would be to increase portions of other distributees as well as to revoke share of the distributee whose name was stricken and that such changes constituted a new and distinct testamentary disposition which, since not attested, were not legally effective and, applying doctrine of dependent relative revocation, no revocation was had and will remained in effect as originally written.
