1Opinion of the CourtRandolph, J.
This suit originated as a contest over the probate of the will of Doctor G. B. Walker in the county court of Parker county. It will serve no purpose in our discussion of the case to detail the various stages of this proceeding, beyond the statement that on the last trial in the district court of Parker county, on a verdict of the jury answering special issues, the trial court rendered judgment sustaining the provision of the will of G. B. Walker, devising one-half of his estate to Mrs. Etta Briley, and holding that part bequeathing the other half of the property to Lee Walker null ,and void.…
