United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit.

Rehearing Denied August 8, 1973.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William F. Reed and Robert J. Stanford, Washington, D. C., were on the brief for appellant.

Henry M. Fowler and Albert F. Beasley, Washington, D. C., were on the brief for appellee.

Before FAHY and BASTIAN, Senior Circuit Judges, and WILKEY, Circuit Judge.

WILKEY, Circuit Judge:

This case arises on appeal from a judgment entered against the plaintiff in an action to contest the validity of the will of Howard J. Curtis. Appellant's major contention below was that the signature on the will was a forgery. On appeal, she complains that the District Court erred in placing on her the burden of proof as to that issue. We conclude that the burden was correctly allocated and that the judgment should be affirmed.
