1Opinion of the Court
HAYNES, C.
This appeal is from an order denying appellants’ petition for a partial distribution of said estate.
The petitioners, W. 31. Steele, Charles A. Steele, and Idella D. Steele—appellants here—are children and heirs-at-law of said *535testator, and who, by the terms of the will, were excluded from any participation in said estate. Their chief contention is that said will purports to vest said estate in a trustee for the benefit of the widow and certain other children of the testator, and that said trust is void under the proAnsions of the Civil Code against perpetuities.
