Summary
In Van Slooten v. Wheeler, 140 N.Y. 624-633, the court said: "Public policy requires that claims against the estates of the dead should be established by very satisfactory evidence, and the courts should see to it that such estates are fairly protected against unfounded and rapacious raids."
