1Opinion of the Court
Sam Robinson, Associate Justice.
Dr. A. G-. Anderson of Eudora, Arkansas, a bachelor, died on the 15th day of June, 1960. He had signed a purported will on July 3, 1959. The will was filed for probate in the Chicot County Probate Court. Mrs. Helen Short of Louisville, Kentucky, a niece and only relative of the deceased, filed a petition contesting the validity of the will alleging that the testator did not have testamentary capacity, and that the will was procured by undue influence. After an extensive hearing the Probate Court admitted the will to probate. Mrs. Short has appealed.
