Holliday v. Shepherd

This is an appeal from a decree of the circuit court of Vermilion county setting aside the will of Jason H. McKinney, deceased. The bill alleged that the instrument in question was not signed by the deceased, that he was not of sound mind and memory at the time of its execution, and that such execution was obtained by fraud and undue influence of certain of the beneficiaries. On a trial of the issues raised by the pleadings the verdict of the jury stated that the writing in question was not the last will and testament of the deceased, and the decree was entered accordingly.
