Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The substance of the affirmative of the issue is with the plaintiffs, the original libellants. They are the party who wish to alter the existing state of things. The defendants can offer no evidence until the sanity of the testator is impeached. The defendants have nothing to do. The plaintiff is the mover, the actor, and on him the [92]*92“burden of proof lies. It is his business therefore to open and close the argument
