1Opinion of the CourtBraley, J.
The testator left a widow who has waived the provisions of the will in her favor, and as his only heir at law a married daughter, who is the appellant and contestant. The jury having returned a verdict, that the will was duly executed, that at the time of execution the testator was of sound and disposing mind and memory, and that the will was not “procured to be executed by the fraud or undue influence of Helen B. Lochlan,” a legatee, the appellant brings the case here on exceptions to the refusal of the presiding judge* to rule as requested, and to the admission of evidence.
