<br />petitioning the court that John F.McCarthy be appointed administrator with will annexed. That on
<br />June 24, 1944, John Kucera, who was named the executor of the will of George Kucera, deceased,
<br />petitioned the court for his release as executor and to accept as his successor, John F.McCarthy,
<br />as administrator of the estate of George Kucera with will annexed.
