Head Matter:
Bertha Smith, as Administratrix, etc., of George M. Smith, Deceased, Respondent, v. Clara N. Bockhorst, Appellant.

Opinion:
Judgment and order reversed upon the law and the facts, and new trial granted, costs to abide the event. In view of the sharp conflict of testimony it was prejudicial error to admit in evidence plaintiff's exhibit 1, which on its face is shown to be a self-serving declaration, Rich, Kapper and Scudder, JJ., concur; Lazansky, P. J., and Hagarty, J., dissent and vote to affirm.
