Donworth and Olson, JJ.
(concurring in part and dissenting in part)—We concur in the result reached in the majority opinion with one exception:
Dr. Pieroth (now deceased) purchased the Seattle clinic from Dr. Bridge when he ceased to operate it May 31, 1946, thereby enabling Dr. Bridge to make it impossible for Dr. Pieroth to comply with the condition prescribed in paragraph second of the will, even if we should hold that he ever was in Dr. Bridge’s employ. Dr. Pieroth’s estate is, therefore, not entitled to any bequest under paragraph second.
We would affirm the judgment of the trial court except as to Ann O’Connor.
