ton being made, the will contem-
plated that these trustees should
convey or transfer" as the term
is used in the will, the allotment
so made to these particular bene-
ficiaries.
According to the Fair case, and
according to the opinion Of Judge
Coffey, which is a learned and ex-
haustive discussion of the author
tiles dealing with the complex and
involved questions which were pre-
scented in this matter, that trust to
transfer and convey is void.
As LAWS GOVERN TRUSTS
Under the laws of the state OF
California. a trust can only endure
for the period of lives in being, and
If an attempt is made to carry the
trust beyond the period of lives In
being, the trust constitutes void
attempt to suspend the absolute
power of alienation. There then
results what is known to the law
as a perpetuity. When, therefore.
the will attempted to vest in the
trustees, upon the happening of the
death of the widow, the power to
divide this property. the will at
tempted to carry the trust beyond
the life of Mrs. Spreckels-that is,
it attempted to carry it beyond the
life in being to such an additional
length of time as might be con-
sumed by the trustees in making
division of the property for the
purpose of conveyance, and for that
reason created a perpetuity.
The right of Mrs. Spreckels to
dispose by valid will of her in
terests. derived from the estate of
Claus Spreckels, is uninfiuenced by
Judge Coffey's decision.

FIGHT FOR REPORT
ON SWOPE AUTOPSY
Attorneys for Doctor Hyde Seek
TO Obtain Analysis Made
by Experts

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 15.-When Drs.
Ludwig Hektoen, Victor Vaughn and
Walter S. Haines come here Thursday
grand jury investigating the Swope
mystery they will find themselves much
in demand. Especially are they wanted
by attorneys for DR.. B. c. Hyde, who
desire to take the physicians dispositions
in connection with Doctor Hydes suit
against Attorney John G. Paxton.
BY the terms of agreement
reached tonight between Prosecutor
Virgil Conkling and Attorneys John NJ.
Cleary and John H. Lucas, representing
Hyde, the physicians attorneys will not
interfere with the witnesses while they
are testifying before the grand jury.
But no agreement was reached whereby
Conkling is duty bound to notify these
attorneys when he has finished with
the witnesses. Therefore. it behooves
Hyde's attorneys to keep a constant
watch on the physicians so that they
will not leave before their dispositions
are obtained.
WANT REPORT OF EXPERTS
II Hyde's attorneys fail to obtain the
dispositions OF the physicians here. then
Attorney Frank p. Walsh will go TO
Chicago and to Ann Harbor to take
the dispositions. He is determined to
know the exact contents of the reports
Of these experts on their examinations
of the vital organs of Chrisman and
Thomas II. Swope and of the contents
of the stomach of Miss Margaret Swope.
Attorney Walsh, representing Hyde,
asked Judge Powell at Independence
today to order Paxton to make a part
of his deposition all reports Doctor
| Hektoen has made on the analysis of
the organs of Colonel Swope and Chris
man Swope- and the contents of Mar
garet Swope's stomach.
Walsh raised the point that the for
nal demand of Mrs. Swope may have
been made after Paxton had been re-
quested to make the communications a
part of his deposition. The court con-
tinued the proceeding until next Thurs
dav. instructing Paxton TO have Mrs
Svope and the letters from Doctor
Hektoen in court at the time.
NURSE BEFORE GRAND JURY
Another deposition that Hyde's at
torneys want badly is that of Miss
Pearl Kellar, who attended Colonel
/ Swope in his last illness. An attempt
was made to get her deposition today
4 but Walsh was notified that she had
not completed her testimony before the
grand jury. She was the only witness
! today.
Formal notice was served on Hyde
! today that his deposition would be
asked by attorneys for Paxton Friday
1t is beliexed the suit will be dismissed
before then.
