(Argued May 27, 1918;

Appeal from an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the first judicial department, entered April 1, 1917, which affirmed a decree of the New York County Surrogate’s Court admitting to probate the will of Mary Gleason, deceased. The objections to probate were: First. That the said will was not duly executed as required by law. Second. That the said will was not the last will and testament of the decedent. Third. That at the time of the making of the will the decedent was not of sound mind and memory, and mentally capable of making a will, and that she could not, - and in fact did not make, execute and deliver any valid will. Fourth. That the said will was not freely and voluntarily made or executed, and that the subscription and publication thereof were procured by undue influence.
