The respondents filed in the court below the said will and their petition, asking that the same be admitted to probate. / In due time the appellant appeared, and contested the probate thereof upon the grounds, among others, that its execution was procured by the undue influence of certain persons, none of whom were named therein as legatees or executors. A general denial of all the allegations contained in the written grounds of opposition was filed by respondents.
