Ditton v. Hart
Indiana Supreme Court
From Warren Circuit Court; James T. Saunders, Judge. Action by Abigail H. Hart and others against Minerva H. Ditton and others. From a judgment for plaintiffs, defendants appeal.
1Opinion of the CourtMonks, J.
This action was brought by appellees against appellants to contest the will of Jane Hawkins, deceased, after probate, on the alleged grounds that the testatrix was of unsound mind when the will was executed, that the will was procured by undue influence, and that it was unduly executed.
A trial of said cause resulted in a general verdict in favor of appellees, and over a motion for a new trial final judgment was rendered setting aside said will. The only errors assigned and not waived call in question the action of the court in overruling appellants’ joint motion for a new trial.
