Kelley v. Kelley
25 Pa. 460
Pa.

Check Treatment

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Woodward, J.

The will under which the plaintiff claims contains all the unimportant phrases of the form book, without a single intelligible devise or bequest. Such a will is insensible and void. It is incapable of being interpreted or executed. The *463parol evidence that was offered, and properly rejected, might have made a will for the testator, but could have given no vitality to this senseless and shapeless instrument.

The judgment is affirmed.
