Short v. Short

HAUL, Chief Justice.

On August 18, 1932, John Short filed his application in the probate court of Wheeler county, praying for the probate of the last will and testament of Mrs. Sarah F. Short. The will is dated June 6, 1921, and the testatrix signed it by making her mark. It is attested by J. R. Sims and J. C. Phipps. The appellants O. B. Short, Mrs. Mattie Monk,'joined by her husband, and Annie Finch, contested upon the grounds that the testatrix lacked mental capacity to make the will at the time she executed it and undue influence exercised by John Short.
