NORRISTOWN. Pa, December Ia
A dramatic recital of the alleged cir
cumstances under which an aged dy-
Ing woman, Clora Markfe Dahlstrom,
IL, Of Ardmore, Pa, affixed her sigma
ture to a will disposing of an estate
valued at approximately $1,0o0,o0o,
and which named Carl A. Dahlstrom.
her husband. as chief legatee, was
heard yesterday in the office Of the
register of Wills. Mrs. Dahlstrom
died last September.
Relatives of Mrs. Dahlstrom, who
are fighting the execution of 'the will,
allege that she was Of unsound mind
when she signed the will on May 16.
four months before her death. and
that the instrument was drawn up
."by fraud and undue influence" on the
part of her husband. They. allege
that it was the last of five wills, each
succeeding one of which left q
greater share of her estate to her
husband.
DahIstrom. who is So years old. tes-
titled that his wife had beQueathed
nearly all of her estate to him be-
cause he had given up his business
and devoted all his time to her, and
denied having directed the signing OF
the will.
(. Miss Myrtle Booth, a nurse, who at
tended Mrs. Dahlstrom for eight
months before her death, testified that
