WANT 100000 COMMISSION.
Suit Against Calvin s. Brfee's Widow
Admit n list trfx.

M Admin list ratrfx.
Mrs. Brice. widow OF Calvin S. Brice
and administrative Of his estate has been
made defendant In a suit brought In the
supreme court OF New York by Thomas H.
King and James T Terry, who allege that
100000 is due TO them commission I'm Il
deal which was conducted by the late finan-
cier.
According to the complainant, Mr.. Brice
and several weii-known men combined in
1898 for the purpose of buying the bulk of
she second mortgage per cent gold bonds
of the Pittsburg and Western railroad. the
entire issue of which amounted to So
100000
On October 5. 1905, Mr.. King received a
letter from Mr.. Brice stating that I'm behalf
OF several men he desired to buy from
81 $4,000 to 81 100000 of the second mort
gage bonds at 50 per cent of the par valne
The letter also states that per cent sd-
ditional will be paid by Mr.. Brice 10 Mr.
King for all bonds up to s., 100000 delivered
by Mr.. King into the hands OF Moore &
Schley, brokers.
This offer was accepted by King. and in
his complaint he says that he assigned a
one-third interest in the deal over to James
Il. TORY. The complaint then asserts that
between October and October 81. 1898 the
plaii.tiffs delivered S2,0O0.O00 worth of the
bonds to Moore & Schley. and that since
that time they have endeavored TO collect
the per cent promised by Mr.. Brice under
the agreement. but have been unable to do
40. They therefore sue 10 recover the
amount of the commission, 500 900. and
interest from the date of the alleged trans
fer.
1t appears that Mr. Brice's friends In the
alleged deal did not know of the deal be-
tween King and Brice TO the per cent

In her answer to the suit Mrs. Brice ad-
mits that demands have been made in

that she has no knowledge of the contract
