The opinion of the court was delivered by

HATCHER, C.:

This appeal is from a judgment rendered in an action challenging the validity of a trust instrument which reserved a life interest in the grantor, gave him power to revoke, and conveyed property in which his nonresident wife would have otherwise acquired an interest by inheritance.

A comprehensive discussion of the issues requires a rather extensive presentation of facts.
