Spreckels, Rudolph Spreckels, and Emma C. Ferris, as individuals. Afterward, on leave of court, a second amended complaint was filed naming as plaintiffs only Claus A. Spreckels and Rudolph Spreckels, as executors of the last will and testament of Anna C. Spreckels, deceased.

A demurrer to the second amended complaint was sustained and judgment was directed to be entered against the plaintiffs. Thereupon judgment was given and entered that Claus A.
