Dissenting Opinion by
.Mr. Chief. Justice Horace Stern :
I dissent in this case because I am of opinion that when the niece, Jennie Kellman, joined with the dece*246dent, in Ms presence, in acknowledging that she and he had received the keys to the safe deposit box, this constituted a delivery of them by the Gimbel Bank to her as well as to him, and that, when he took possession of the keys, it is fairly to be presumed that it was only to hold one of them as custodian for her. Therefore I think that under the facts of this case there was a delivery of a key to the niece, and that consequently all the requisites of a gift inter vivos were present in the transaction.
