ELIZA CORBIN v. WILLIAM W. POWELL, TRUSTEE

Validity of Deed — Mental Incompetency.

In a suit to set aside deeds by which an aged colored man, since deceased, who was married to a wife nearly fifty years his junior, vested his property in their two names as tenants by the entireties, held that testimony by an eminent physician and by a distinguished alienist, who attended the man professionally and examined him on the day on which the deeds were executed, that he was then mentally incompetent, justified a decree setting aside the deeds, in spite of testimony by others, not wholly disinterested, to the contrary.

Decided February 22d 1939.

PARKE, J., delivered the opinion of the Court.
