Such advice or persuasion will not vitiate a will made freely and from conviction, though such will might never have been made; but for such advice* or persuasion. This does not amount to fraud, compulsion, or other improper conduct To avoid a will, the influence which is exercised mus! he undue, and tins, in the legal sense, is something wrongful, a species of fraud.””
