1Opinion of the CourtHadley, J.
Albert Davenport died testate, leaving as his next of bin the children of a deceased brother and the daughter of a deceased sister. He bequeathed to his niece, the daughter of his deceased sister, $10, and the balance of his estate, alleged to be $50,000 in value, to his nephews and niece, the children of his deceased brother. The appellant, Mary Terry, the recipient of the $10 legacy, instituted this suit to contest the validity of her uncle’s will on the grounds (1). of undue execution, and (2) want of testamentary capacity.
The overruling of her motion for a new trial is the only error…
