1Opinion of the CourtCarrico, J.

This appeal is a sequel to the case of Eason v. Eason, 203 Va. 246, 123 S. E. 2d 361, in which we considered the question of the validity of the will of Mary Frances Eason, deceased. In that case, James L. Eason, a surviving brother of Mary Frances Eason, and Samuel W. Eason and Robert R. Eason, her nephews, the sons of a deceased brother, had appealed the clerk’s order of probate (Code, § 64-74) and had unsuccessfully contended in a jury trial that she was incompetent to make a will. There we affirmed a final decree approving the jury’s verdict that the will was valid.
