1Opinion of the Court

LOWENSTEIN, Judge.

Loretta Ollison Danforth appeals a jury verdict setting aside a will on the basis of fraud and establishing a prior will as the Last Will and Testament of Duncan R. Danforth. On August 25, 1980, two wills dated August 18, 1980 and December 5, 1978 were offered for probate. The probate court granted letters testamentary to the 1980 will and rejected the prior will. On September 4, 1980, two children of the testator by a second marriage, Frank Dan-forth and Janette Barb, filed their initial will contest which was later amended on September 11, 1980.
