“Circumstantially it may be inferred that the income from the corpus of the transfer was expected to be the source from which Irving and Marion would acquire the financial ability to discharge their obligations to their father under the agreement of 1932 * * *. The evidence points rather to the conviction that the transfer was not absolute, immediate, and unqualified, but that it was itself encumbered by obligations of the donees, the performance of which was dependent upon the transfer and its fruits. It does not seen to me that the obligations of the donees were entirely independent of the transferred property. (Citations.)”
