WOhAN'S WILL WAS
MADE AFTER DEATH
Was Too Weak to Execute Document
and Stated Wishes Verbally
to Her Attorney.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Fit is very
seldom that a persons will is written
after death, but that is what happened
in the case of Margaret Bippus, an aged
widow who died on December II at her
home, 625 Mulberry street, leaving prop
erty valued at about $1,000 The will
was offered for nrObate yesterday. and
then il was discovered that the dOcu-
ment had been executed after her
death.
1t was at first supposed that there had
been no will and that Mrs. Bippus had
no living relatives The auditor general
of the State was notified of this and
he appointed David ]. Smyth. an attor-
ney, escheator Of the estate. Under the
proceeding contemplated by this ap-
pointment the State ~ould have received
two-thirds of the estate. Yesterday,
however, Richard Crankshaw, jr., an a.
torney. and William T. Mellor. produced
a Will which they said had been made
by the decedent They started out by
making the rather startling statement
that the will had been executed after
the WOman's death They explained
however. that the woman had uttered
| her last wishes verbally and that they
| had merely reduced them TO writing.
Attorney CrankshaW testified that
when he reached the house OF Mrs. Bip-
pus, having been sent for shortly before
! her death, he found the woman in a
very weak condition, and that she YER
bally expressed a wish that everything
she possessed be given to Mrs. Mellor
with whom she had boarded for nearly
two years. He said that Mrs. Bippus
was too weak to make will. but that
he reduced her wishes to writing after
her death.
Jacob Bippus. a nephew, and Mary
Spreaker, a niece protested against the
admission of the will to probate, but it
was stated that they were merely re-
mote relatives of the testatrix, and
therefore had no standing in court. At
torney Smyth. as escheator. also filed
eaveat against the will. so that. in
case the document should be set aside,
the estate viii revert TO the State.
