On Appellant’s Motion for Rehearing.
Appellant complains of certain statements in our opinion as constituting fact findings by us. not supported by the testimony; particularly with reference to the length of time Mrs. Bartl lived with Mrs. Moore before the will was executed; and that it was executed in Mrs. Moore’s home. We did not intend such statements as findings of fact; but merely that from the evidence the jury was authorized to infer that these facts and circumstances existed as affording an opportunity to exert such undue influence. We think it is unimportant whether, under the circumstances, the purported will was actually signed by Mrs. Bartl in her own home, or in the home of Mrs. Moore; it not being controverted that for several months prior thereto Mrs. Moore had kept Mrs. Bartl in the Moore home, and was present both when the information was given to the scrivener, and when the will was signed.
Appellant’s motion for rehearing is therefore overruled.
Motion overruled.
