Description
This is an appeal from a judgment entered upon a directed verdict sustaining the probate of a will. The appellants, contestants of the will, refused to participate in the trial after their motion for a continuance was overruled. Although the proponents of the will, the appellees, offered to permit the contestants to present to the jury their affidavits in support of their motion for a continuance, they refused to do so. The proponents then proceeded to introduce the probated will in evidence and to show its proper execution and the proper execution of two codicils made thereto. At this juncture the contestants moved the court to instruct the jury that the will read in evidence was not that of the testatrix and, of course, the motion was denied. Upon motion of the proponents of the will for a directed verdict, the court so instructed the jury.
