The suit instituted here against the
agents OF the Old Real Estate Pool is the
outRrowth of q quarrel between some of
tha organizers of the pool and its agents
over the profits. The pool Was organized
In the hrst place by number of men with
the idea OF buying large tracts of real
estate and holding it for an increase in the
value. 1t was believed that the great inn
proVements then being inaugurated by
Alex Shepherd, Senator Stewart and other
wealthy men formed the pool, ano in look
ing for agents Haliet Kilbourne. who WAS
very intimate with Shepherd, was chosen
because it was supposed that Kilbourne
would be able to ascertain in advance
what Improvement Shepherd intended to
make and what parts of the city would be
benefited. Kilbourne was trusted and
confidential friend of Shepherd, and in
TACT did find out where to buy real estate
30 as to make money. Now, some of the
parties who were members of the pool or
syndicate claim that Kilbourne and his
associate or partner made moro money
than their proper share, and want them
to disgorge. 1t will bring to light
some OF the secrets of the old real
estate pool which Congress failed to find.
