On Application por Rehearing.
Per Curiam:
Proponent and appellee, Benedict H. Lee, the executor named in the last will and testament of Roy Houghten, Deceased, seeks a rehearing for the purpose of sustaining the altered will in its entirety and, failing to do so, then to sustain the will without the residuary deviso and bequest and the several other devises therein, in order “to comply with the direction of the testator that all his just debts should be paid and that Benedict H. Lee should be the executor of his estate.” '
We adhere to the views expressed in the opinion in this cause on February 20th last, except as stated herein, and deny rehearing.
Houghten accomplished the act of revocation of testamentary disposition of the residue of his estate, in conformity with the statute, but did not revoke bis will in its entirety. There remains to be accomplished under the will the appointment of the executor, payment of decedent's just debts and expenses of administration of his estate, and distribution of the residue under the provisions of the statute of descent and distribution. 
The application for rehearing is denied.
' Starr, C. J., and North, Wiest, Butzel, Bushnell, Sharpe, Boyles, and Reid, JJ., concurred.
