1Opinion of the CourtMurchie, C. J.

The single question requiring decision in this case, raised by the appellant’s exceptions challenging the decree entered in the Supreme Coui;t of Probate bringing it forward, as in the Reasons for Appeal which carried it to that court from the court of probate in which it was heard originally, is whether the instrument admitted to probate in each of said courts as the last will and testament of Wallace E. Kelley, deceased, was duly attested by three “credible attesting witnesses, not beneficially interested” thereunder, as required by our statute of wills, R. S., 1944, Chap. 155, Sec. 1.
