(After Stating the Pacts as Above). — ■ The appellants assign as error the insufficiency o£ the evidence to support the verdict and the failure of the evidence to sustain the judgment. The court has clearly based the judgment on the count of the complaint asserting testamentary incapacity as the grounds for contest. Such is manifestly the effect of the court’s findings of fact. The second ground for contest, undue influence, is wholly unsupported by the evidence, and the trial court so treats the matter by failing to mention any fact as established tending to prove undue influence exerted at the time the instrument was signed in the “death chamber” as alleged in the complaint. The appellants then have no grounds for complaint with regard to the second alleged cause for contest; the issues based thereon having been in effect determined in favor of the appellants and rightly so.
The circumstances under which the will was prepared, signed and declared are established by the uncontroverted testimony of the persons present at the time. On the thirtieth day of December, 1915, the testatrix was seriously ill, and had been seriously ill for eight days. About noon on said thirtieth day of December, Dr. Looney, her regular physician, visited her professionally, and he states that testatrix was then mentally sound.
Marie Sedillos was at the Brazil house all the day of December 30th. Dr. Looney came and left. After the doctor left Mrs. Brazil requested Marie Sedillos to find Teresa Martinez and have her send for the priest and for Mr. Morrison, Mrs. Brazil’s lawyer. Marie did as she was requested, and Teresa sent her little boy for the priest and lawyer. About 4 o ’clock in the afternoon Mr. Morrison arrived at the Brazil home accompanied by Mr. Allen Hill, an office assistant to Mr. Morrison. A few minutes later the priest arrived. When Mr. Morrison and Mr. Hill arrived Ochoa attended them at the door. Mrs. Brazil was in- bed. Mrs. Martinez was in the room. Mr. Morrison and Mr. Hill greeted Mrs. Brazil and inquired of her wish. She told Mr. Morrison that it was her desire to “make a paper giving to Andres Ochoa all my property. ’ ’ Mrs. Martinez was requested by Mr. Morrison to, and she did, inquire in the Spanish language of Mrs. Brazil her desire for the presence of Mr. Morrison. Mrs. Martinez said that “Mrs. Brazil wants you to make out her will or a *570paper that after all of her debts are paid that all of her property shall go to Andres Ochoa.” The will was written by Mr. Hill in an adjoining room. The priest came while the will was being prepared. The priest was alone with the deceased in the sick room while performing religious ceremonies. When these were performed, Mr. Morrison and Mr. Hill returned to the sick room, and Mr. Hill read the will in English, and the priest translated it to the Spanish language. When finished, Mrs. Brazil stated that the paper read in her hearing was her will. At her request Mr. Hill pointed out the proper place for her signature and wrote her name, she making her mark. Thereupon Mr. Hill and Jose Sedillos executed the will as witnesses. At the time the will was read in the hearing of the deceased and at the time she executed the will, Mr. Morrison, Mr. Hill, the priest, Father E'ustaee, Jose Sedillos, Marie Sedillos, Teresa Martinez and Andres Ochoa were in the room giving solemn attention to the proceedings. Each of these parties have testified to the clear mind of the deceased during the execution of the will. From all of the testimony bearing upon the mental condition of the testatrix from the time Dr. Looney visited her at about noon until the will was completely executed and published by her as her will, and thereafter until 10 P. M., when she died, but one conclusion can be drawn; that is, that the testatrix was at the time of making said will of a sound and disposing mind and memory. Any previous disturbed mental condition shown to have existed some four days earlier as testified by Louisa Bosas is not evidence contradicting the testimony bearing upon the mental condition of the testatrix at the time of the execution and publication of the will. Such former mental condition is a circumstance which, when supported by other circumstances, may properly be admitted as evidence, but, standing alone, is insufficient to justify an inference that such mental condition continued until the time of making the will, when positive testimony in abundance is to the contrary. As opposed to the direct positive testimony of a large number of witnesses, better situated to observe and know the mental condition of the testatrix at the period of time vital to the act, we find testimony of other witnesses tending to establish the mental condition of the testatrix at particular dates ranging from four days prior to the date upon which the will was executed to ten months prior to that date. Assuming *571that all of the witnesses testified truthfully of the facts related, and of their respective opinions of the unsound mental condition of the testatrix at the times specified, yet the uncontradicted testimony of the sound state of testatrix’s mind at the time she made and published her will is the testimony controlling the issue here joined and on trial.
I find no substantial evidence in the record showing or tending to show that the testatrix was mentally incapacitated to make the will in question on the thirtieth day of December, 1915. The judgment is not sustained by the evidence, and is therefore contrary to law.
The judgment is vacated, and the cause remanded, with instructions to grant a new trial.
