1Opinion of the Court

BOLIN, Judge.

Mrs. Theo Dixon Guzik, the daughter of Mrs. Vada Mae Dixon, instituted this action to have declared invalid an olographic will, alleging the testament had been made at a time when testatrix was mentally incompetent. The will named as sole legatee and executrix Mrs. Elizabeth Christine Dixon (now Mrs. Cruse), widow of a deceased son of the testatrix. The will was admitted to probate on the petition of Mrs. Cruse, who now defends this action. From judgment decreeing the invalidity of the will Mrs. Cruse prosecutes this appeal. We affirm the judgment of the lower court.
