LoMly Drawn Stipulations That In
validated His Charitabla Trust Be
quttt Praaident Polk'a Will, Writ
ten by Hlmaalf, Nullifiad.
; Whether the old saying that "a law
yer who tries his own case has a fool
for a client" is applicable to Samuel
J. Tilden In the matter of drawing his
will Is not known. It was. thought for
some time that the will was drawn, or
at least approved, by .Charles O'Conor
and James C. Carter, two of tbe most
eminent lawyers In New York, but
later statements, says Case and Com
ment, are to the effect that they had
nothing at all to do with the will, ami
consequently it is not definitely known
who was responsible for It '
It would hardly seem possible that
Mr, Tilden himself could have made
such a mistake had he been acting for
some one else. ; The statement has
been mode that Mr. Tilden had some
doubts as to the validity , of those
clauses which the court subsequently
condemned ajid had spoken to Mr.
Carter about tt - but nothnr mm
came of It v " '..''"' '
In summing up the provisions of tbe
Tilden will the court in holding it in
valid stated that the testator in sub"
stance said; "I have determined to de
vote my estate to. charitable, educa
tlonal and scientific purposes. I ha vt
formed no detailed plan how that pur
pose can be executed, but under the.
Jaw of New York it must be done
through and by means of a corpora
tion. I request you to cause to "be in
corporated an institution to be called
the 'Tilden trust' with capacity to
maintain a free library and reading
room in the city of New York, and
such other educational and scientific
objects as you shall designate, and if
you deem it expedient that is. If you
think it advisable and tbe fit and prop
er thing to do convey to that Institu
tion all or such part oT my residuary
estate as you choose.; and If you do
not think that course advisable then
apply it to such charitable, education
al and scientific purposes as In your
Judgment will roost substantially ben
efit mankind."
It will be noted that the discretion of
the trustees was Indefinite both' as
to the amount which tliey were to give
to the corporation to be formed and
also' as o whether they should give
any at all to the Incorporation, and the
validity of the bequest was denied
upon tbe ground of this complete dis
cretionary power to convey or not to
convey to the suggested beneficiary.
The trustee procured the Incorpora
tion of tbe "Tilden trust" and elect
ed to convey to it tbe entire property,
but the court held that the Invalidity
Sf the charitable trust because of Its
ncertalnty could not be cured by any
thing done by the trustees to execute
it .
In striking contrast with the Tilden
will Is that of his contemporary in
law and politics. ' Roscoe Conkling,
the text of which Is as follows: 4,i.
Roscoe Conkling of Uttca, make, pub
lish and declare my last will and testa
ment as follows: I give, devise and
bequeath to my wife Julia and to her
heirs and assigns forever all my prop
erty and estate, whether real or mixed,
and I constitute and 'appoint my said
wife sole executrix of:ih!s my Inst
will." It would undoubtedly take a
better lawyer than even Mr. Conkling
to break his will.
In passing upon the validity of the
will of President James K. Polk a

Tennessee court of , chancery said:
"This will was written by the testator
with his own hand In th H-nHn
mansion at Washington at a time
wnen he was president of the United
States. lie was a lawrer of
nized ability, had filled many high pub
lic omces wun distinction and reflect
ed great honor upon his 'state. Ills
will was witnessed by a law partner
and a senator In congress and named
as executor one of the justices of the
supreme court of the United States.
It comes to us with the impression of
having beencarefully thought out to
fore it was formally put down and
published as his last testament"
Among other provisions his tome,
known as Polk Place, situated in the
city of Nashville, was given to his
wife for life, and upon her death It
was .bequeathea to the state of Ten
nessee In trust to be occupied and en
Joyed "by such one of my blood rela
tives having tbe name of Polk as may
by designated by the said state," and
If there were ho, blood relatives of
that name then "by such other of my
blood relations as may be designated
by the sold state to execute this trust"
The occupant was to keep the same
