Opinions

ARCHER, Chief Justice.

This is a will contest participated in by the Attorney General by virtue of Article 4412a, Vernon’s Ann.Civ.St

The will is a holographic one and the jury, in response to issues, found that the will was wholly in the handwriting of the testatrix, but that the testatrix did not have testamentary capacity when the will was executed on December 28, 1936.

By the terms of the will bequests were made to the University of Texas for scholarships, effective at the date of the death of the third generation of the testatrix’s nieces and nephews. The Attorney General is prosecuting this appeal by virtue of the statute.
