THE WALKERLEY TRUST,
Litigation Which Involves the
Pacific Union Club
Property.
English Heirs Fighting in the Federal
Courts to Have the Provisions
Carried Out.

The Walkerley will controversy came up
IN the United States Circuit Court vester-
day afternoon before Judge MeKenna on
the demurrer OF the defense. 1t involves
the ownership of the Pacific Union Club
property, on the corner of Stockton and
Post streets. For eight years the matter
has been in litigation.
In the will of William Walkerley he APP
pointed Frank Barker, Harry D. Hanks
and Columbus Bartlett trustees and Mary
b. Bacon and Harry D. Hanks to execute
1t. By its provisions under the trust the
widow would have received only about
100000 OF the 100000. The estate in
cIuoed some realty in Oakland besides the
Pacifc Union Club property.
The trust part of the will, however, was
declared void by the State Supreme Court
in decision upholuing the general pro-
visions Of the will, on proceedings had in
Tue Alameda County courts, and on the
4th inst. the widow, now Mrs Blanche
Burbank, had the estate practically turned
over to her.
While the will contest was pending suit
was brought by the English heirs-eight
IN number and variously related to The
testator-in the Federal court to compel
the trustees to carry out the provisions of
the trust. The English heirs also asked to
have receiver appointed. Against their
complaint the defense, including the
Bacon heirs, Mabel e. Halman, Frank
Barker and Betsy Walkerley Newman, set
up plea, demurrer and answer, based on
the action of the State courts. AS the de-
murrer and the plea and answer virtually
set forth the same facts the defense was
would stand upon. 1t chose the plea and
