peals yesterday held that the will
of man made while he was single.
through having been widowed, and
who had no children by the first
marriage, became void by virtue of
second marriage and child being
born of that marriage.

versed and remanded a District

based on a Court of Appeals ruling
here in 1922. District Court had
ordered the will probated.
Essentially, at the time the will
was drawn. Agostino Pascucci, who
drew it, had the status of single
man. AS result of the appellate

his fathers death, will receive prop
erty valued at about $50, 900, it was

Mr. Pascucci made the will In the
