The collection. Nhich Mr.. Walter aocu-
mulatei during his later years while trsv-
ellina In Europe, il said to be very valuable
In the forty-second clause OF bis WIN MIR.
Walter directed that his art collection
should he transported to San Francisco
ard delivered by his executors to the Art
Museum OF that city to form the Emanuel
Walter Art Collection ..
There is no "Art Museum Of the city
OF San Francisco and the beauest was
claimed by both the San FranciEco Art
Association and the Golden Gate Park Mn-
scum. With the collection goes cash
beauest OF s5oOO0 to provide suitable
rooms for the display Ct the works Of art
and to keep them IN good repair. Another
teluest OF 5000 was conditioner IN the
post OF superintendent Of the collection

The testimony adduced before Justice
Rischoh show ed that Walter. who was
native OF Germany but had established 9
l., IlHA
that tity 10 iao. for Europe and never re-
turned. When he left tho Golden Gate
Park Museum was not In existence and
there was no proof produced that he ever
did know of the existence Of this museum
or take any interest in it. On the other
hand the SAM Francisco Art Association
WAS in 1894 an established institution for
the exhibition Of fine arts and controlled
a very large and well known building for
that purpose.
tives often attended the associations rooms
and were members OF the association.
Edgar Walter obtained his training az a
sculptor in the Mark Hopkins Institute
Of Art and his uncle took a great interest
From all these facts and other corrob-
orative evidence Justice Bisohon con-
oludes that Mr.. Walter must have intended
to bequeath his works Of art and the
$50. 900 in cash to the San Francisco Art
Association.
Justice Bischor pronounoes invalid
another clause. by which the testator
sought to form a fifty year trust fund out
Of his entire reslduary estate. the yearly
income therefrom to be used for the aid
and support, when necessary. Of Mr.. Wal
ter's NEEDY kin Of the first six egrees."
At the end Of the fifty year period the
whole fund with accrued or unused In
terest was to be divided 'among all the
members Of my kin up to and Inclusive
Of the sixth degree Of kinship in equal
parts"
Justice Bischoif says that the failure to
limit the trust by the duration Of existing
lives. as the statutes provide, makes this
clauss invalid. 90 the residuary estate
must be divided al though Mr.. Walter had
