1. ““In Harris v. Harris, 136 Cal. 379, 384 [ 69 P. 23 ], it was said; ‘The rule is well settled that one who would claim the ownership of property of which the legal title stands of record in another, or that the same is held by such person in trust for the one so claiming, must establish such claim by evidence that is clear, satisfactory and convincing. (Woodside v. Hewel, 109 Cal. 481 [ 42 P. 152 ] ; Plass v. Plass, 122 Cal. 3 [ 54 P. 372 ].) Whether the evidence in any particular case is of this character must be determined by the trial court, and its determination thereon will be accepted by this court as conclusive. ’ In accord are 25 Cal.Jur. p. 348; Bollinger v. Bollinger, 154 Cal. 695, 703 [ 99 P. 196 ] ; Noble v. Learned, 153 Cal. 245, 251 [ 94 P. 1047 ] ; Lefrooth v. Prentice, 202 Cal. 215, 227 [ 259 P. 947 ]; Taylor v.
