1Opinion of the CourtHilton, J.

Contestants appeal from an order denying their motion for a new trial.

This action involves the last will and testament and a codicil thereto of Katherine Enyart, both of which instruments were ad mitted to probate. Contestants severally filed objections to the allowance of the same on three alleged grounds: (1) Failure to comply with the statutory requirements for testamentary execution (this objection was later abandoned) ; (2) mental incapacity of testatrix to execute the will; (8) undue influence exerted by two beneficiaries, Sarah A. Jordan and Alex E. Jordan, her husband.
