Abstract

Testator procured A and B to witness his will. Both signed in the blank spaces provided for that purpose, but the testator had not yet signed. Four days later testator again brought the will to A and B, stating that he wished to sign it in their presence. Both witnesses recognized the paper as the one to which they had previously affixed their signatures, and recognized their signatures thereon.

Testator signed in their presence, and nothing further was done. Held, the will was validly executed. Bloechle v. Davis, 132 Ohio St. 415, 8 N. E. (2d) 247 (1937).
