**MISS DUKE CROSS-EXAMINED;*

Claimant to Big Estate Disputes Identity of Book in Evidence.

Emilia Duke appeals from an order setting aside a deed granting her one acre
of property belonging to her late stepfather, Calvin Leeroy Shinpaugh (Mr.
Shinpaugh). The plaintif holds that the trial court did not err in applying
the presumption of undue influence becauseappellant and Mr. Shinpaugh were
