Description
CURTIS, J. -- Robert Franklin Green died on August 31, 1939, leaving surviving him a wife and an only child, a daughter, Frankie Green Dick. He separated from his wife immediately after their marriage and he never lived with her from that time until the day of his death. He had made a property settlement with her whereby she waived all her property rights as his wife. He also left a document which purported to be his last will and testament, in whih he left his entire estate to his sister, Mrs. Mary Jane Snyder, and two nieces, Mrs. Frances M. Freeman and Mrs. Carrie C. Erich, daughters of a deceased sister -- except for one dollar which he left to his daughter. Ray E. Burson was named executor and filed the purported will of decedent for probate. The daughter, Frankie Green Dick, filed a contest to the probate thereof.The grounds of contest were unsoundness of mind, undue influence, and fraud in procuring the execution of said document. The charge of fraud was abandoned and the contest of the will was tried by a jury on the two grounds of incompetency and undue influence. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of contestant, and proponents moved for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and also filed a motion for a new trial. The court denied the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, but granted the motion for a new trial on the ground that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict in favor of contestant. Contestant has appealed from the order granting the motion for a new trial, and proponents have appealed from the order denying their motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict.
