Syllabus

<p>Will — Undue influence — Issue devisavit vel non — Evidence.</p> <p>An issue devisavit vel non on the ground of undue influence is properly refused where it appears that the will was in favor of the testator’s wife, and the contestant was a stepson, a beneficiary under a former will; that the stepson had given testator grounds for dislike; that the alleged acts of undue influence were supported only by the hostile testimony of the contestant and by hearsay evidence, and that such acts were contradicted by the testator’s widow and several witnesses, and that acts of intimidation by the wife against her husband, if they did exist, in no way influenced testator in the making of his will.</p>
