Tho right of complainant in this caso is not barred by tho statiUcof limitation or mistakes on other point!. The court holds tho contestants of Broder-iek's Broder-iek's will wero debarred from relief by the long lapse of time beforo seeking seek-ing it. Justices Clifford and Davis, dissent, holding that courts of equity may exercise jurisdiction to annul a decree of probate court approving a forced will, and allowing an instrument instru-ment which was procured by forgery and fraud, provided it appears that tho injured party has not been guilty of laches and has no other adequate remedy. |
