alarm. As they started to leave the
room Borish sent Two bullets whizzing
past the thieves.
They dropped on their knees and
lowed them and fired several more shots,
but in the darkness his bullets flew wide

Several policemen heard the shots and
rushed to the house. They searched
the neighbo-hood. without finding the
burglars.
Mr.. Borist and the officers found
that the thieves had entered the house
through dhing-room window, which
had been left open. The house had been
ransacked, but, SO far as could be

SIGNED HER PROPERTY AWAY.
Says She Was Induced to DO So by
False Representation.

The New York Building Loan and
Banking Company is to-day the defend
ant before Justice Bartlett, in the Su-
preme Court, Brooklyn, in an action
brought by Mrs. Charlotte F. Law. of
Bushwick avenue. Brooklyn, in which
gross fraud is charged.
Mrs. Law claims that F. A. Conklins,
President of the Company. induced her to
sign certain papers by which she con-
veyed her property to the Company I'M
Willingly. Mrs. Law says that on Jan.
q, 1888, she owned house and lot in
numbered by first mortgage for $4,000.
and a second mortgage for 81, 700.
The holder of the second mortgage
office. of the Company and met Mr.
Conlsling, the President He said he
would attend to the matter for her.
Later he came to her at Loeser's dry
employed. and handed her a bundle of
papers, asking her to sign them. She
was busy, but she says Conkling said
they must be signed right away. With
out reading the papers she signed them.
Afterwards she found that she had
for 5000, and had also signed deed of
the property to the Company of which
Conltling is President. She further says
there Is yet another paper of which she
too. that she signed subscription for
~ ~ shares of the Company's stock.
She asks the court to declare these
papers void.
The Company's answer sets up that
there was no fraud. but that Mrs. Law
she was doing. The case is still before
the court.
