Per Curiam.
The caveat as amended failed to set forth any valid ground of objection to the probate of the will, except as to alleged mental incapacity. It failed to allege sufficient facts to show fraud, undue influence, or a mistake of fact by the testatrix as to the existence and conduct of the heirs at law. The court did not err in striking on demurrer all portions of the caveat as amended, except such as related to mental incapacity.
2. The charge of the court, excepted to in the motion for new trial, as applied to the evidence, was in accordance with the decisions by this court in Slaughter v. Heath, 127 Ga. 747 (9) (57 S. E. 69, 27 L. R. A. (N. S.) 1); Credille v. Credille, 123 Ga. 673 (51 S. E. 628, 107 Am. St. R. 157), and Penn v. Thurman, 144 Ga. 67 (2) (86 S. E. 233), and was not erroneous for the reasons assigned.
The evidence authorized the verdict, and the court did not err in refusing a new trial.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur, except
