Mr. Ci-iiee Justice Thompson

delivered the opinion of the court:

This suit was brought by James Storkan, appellee and successor trustee, to construe a trust made by John Kralovec in favor of his five children named in the trust agreement. A decree was entered in the superior court of Cook County, finding that Adela K. Ziska in her lifetime was possessed of a vested interest in personal property, which passed by her will to her brothers and son, John James Ziska, appellant, in equal parts. This decree was affirmed by the Appellate Court for the First District and we have granted leave to appeal.
