Clark, J.,
dissenting : The clause is inartificially drawn, but it would seem that the plain meaning of the testator is this: He gave the property to Ella and Walter, the children of his deceased son, Moses, and their heirs, with a defeasance that if either should die without heirs of the body that share should go over to the parties named, and if each of them should die without heirs of the body then the whole should go over. The defeasance with remainder over applied to “either” of them who should die without heirs of the body, and to “ each of them ” if both should die without heirs of the body. I think the result below was correct.
