1Opinion of the CourtPrick, J.
This proceeding was begun in the district court of Utah county to establish a writing purporting to be the last will and testament of Branch Young, deceased. Objections were filed to the allowance of the proposed will by some of the children of the deceased upon the ground that it was made under coercion, duress, and undue influence, which were alleged to have been exerted upon the mind of the deceased by his wife, who was a beneficiary named in the will, and that such undue influence was exerted at a time when the testator was old, infirm, and of feeble mind.
