## Opinion text

O’NIELL, J.
I concur in the decree affirming the judgment appealed from, because the evidence as a whole leaves no doubt in my mind that the will is genuine. But I do not concur in the opinion that an ex parte order admitting an instrument to probate as an olographic will, without notice to the presumptive heir or heirs, shifts the burden of proof regarding the genuiness of the handwriting.
Rehearing refused by Division O, composed of Justices DAWKINS, ST. PAUL, and THOMPSON.
