CLAYTON, Justice.

This is a contest of the will of Quentin Bryan Schaefer, deceased, filed for probate by the appellants (proponents) Herman De-voe Wright and his wife, Leta Bates Wright. The probate of the will was contested by appellees, who were brothers, sisters, two nephews, and a niece of the testator, upon grounds of testamentary capacity and undue influence. Upon submission of special issues to the jury on these two contested grounds, the jury returned a verdict on both issues against the appellants, and the trial court entered its order denying probate of the will.
