The doctor asserted that he had been called in to see Mrs. Parker on various occasions and was fairly familiar with her condition. He stated that her mental condition as far as he could learn was the same as it had been for two years prior to her death and that he believed her to be aware of what was being done on the day the will was signed and capable of com- prehending the significance of what she was doing.
