1Opinion of the Court

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Hoch, J.:

The primary question presented by this appeal is whether the corpus of a certain testamentary trust estate may be reached by the divorced wife of the beneficiary to satisfy a judgment for alimony. The trial court found against the claimant and she appeals.

Questions involving the instant trust have twice been before us and we need not repeat the narrative contained in the former opinions. (See Watts v. Watts, 151 Kan. 125, 98 P. 2d 125; Watts v. Watts, 158 Kan. 59, 145 P. 2d 128.)

The issues here can be presented by brief recital.
