1Opinion of the CourtCarroll, J.
When this case was before us, Neill v. Brackett, 234 Mass. 367, the executor’s exceptions were sustained. The case then went to trial in the Superior Court on the issue of the fraud and undue influence of Mary E. ■ Fallon and Sally S. D. Richards in procuring the will of Edward E. Richards. The court ruled that a finding of undue influence would not be warranted, and directed the jury to return a negative answer to the issue submitted: “Was said alleged will procured to be made through the fraud or undue influence of Mary E. Fallon and Sally S. D. Richards, or either of them? ”
