CONCURRING 'OPINION OP
MR. JUSTICE WOLE. '
In its main lines I agree with the opinion of the court. Perhaps it should be more greatly stressed that in cases of this kind, even a fair probability in favor of complainants is not sufficient, but the evidence should be clear and convincing.

If it was, I agree that the failure to present him was significant. 1 I
•Likewise, I largely base my concurrence on another consideration, only partially set forth in the main opinion.

Mandes, to my mind, was the only living person who had a *774right to bring sncb an action. The complainants were strangers in law.
