THE BALE OF BooTns THEATRE.
FROM the 4Ncp Yert Herald.
4 .t.,,I.r IL
| Of tho recent aalo under foreclosure Of BOOTHS
| Theatre. The interest felt by tho citizens Of
New York In tho property and its original ownor
renders it desirable that tho facts should DO cor
rocsiy placed bcioro tho public. There wns no
bidding on tho property, oxcopt botwoon Oliver
Amoa and Clark Boll-the former tho holder Of
the SIC, 600 torcoosed mortgage, tho hitter the
party to whom tho title had boon transferred in
trust. The rosult was that tho property was suf~
forol to 20 amicab}y In tho interest Of Mr. Edwin
Booth, although by no connivsnco on his part,
! fur a sum greatly below ita roal value. Outside
| bids, which might otherwise have been plenty
notwithstanding tho unfayorablo condition Of
tho market, wora prevented partly by sympathy
With tue bankrupt, and partly by tho apprseheu"
viowed and subjected to q tedious ]ogal alchemy.
The latter impression was created by q question
III to tho personal property, which Is Nntaesssood
to include the fixtures in tho tAcatro. These
would be Tho property Of Mr.. nooth's
| croaitora outside OF tha realty, which lat
ter was alone subject to Tie foreclosure hence
tho theatre would DO purchased with tho liability
to such dissection might remove its vitnls.
Theaa complications, even in o batter state Of the
market, would lave interfered WITH tho bidding
Tno statement that Mr.. Nooth's lawyers or
fercl check for tho forocloEed mortgage prior
to the sale is wholly ineolaect. II such III olor
wAu ,nade at all it must have como from Mr.
I}ell tho trausfara0, fur tho aaito Of urayeutiup
an apparently bad record against tho property.
such as might DO mntlo III caae Of q depresaed
aalo. Tho erroneous report would imply collu-
sion on tho part Of the bankrupt. Or q coNceal-
mont Of fundB from lla creditors. Mr.. Booths
perGonal character IL sufficiently irroplosclaolo
to correct such nliHatate1ncDt with thoao who
know him. and since hi5 financial troubles COM
1uonccd his beat efforts have bceu directed
towards tho interests Of his crelltorG. The
favor extended by tlom to the bankrupt Ia Bats-
factory eytdence Of this fact.
