Will on a Postcard

The German courts have just had a
curious case before them. A trader died
at Bad Mannheim, and three days be-
fore his death he sent postcard to a
lady friend on her birthday, deploring
that he was i'll and so far away from
her. relates the London Globe. He also
said, For good birthday present
am leaving to you my fortune" The
lady to whom this postcard was sent
claimed that this missive constituted
will in her favor. She claimed the es-
tate, which was valued at about 200,-
600 marks. In the first court the de-
cision went against her. and on appeal
the findings of the court below were
upheld. The grounds of the decision
were that, by German law. when a per-
son draws up his own will it is neces-
sary for the document to state where
it was written. The trader. although
he had duly signed the card, omitted
to place his address upon it.
