NR. M'VEY BOWLED OUT
BY BEVY OF LAWYERS
Oppesei Setting Aside Of Sale Of
Delaware Construction Com
panV'S Plant to Him

Former State Detective McVey ap-
peared in therole Of a lawyer in Chan
Gerry Court this morning, to oppose the
setting aside Of the sale OF the prop
erty of the defunct Delaware Construc-
tion Company for which he paid sl0,-
275. William S. Hilles presented re-
turn Of the sale to the court on Mon
day, and following the return asked for
rule on Mr.. McVey to show cause
why the sale should not be set aside.
He alleged gross inadequacy OF price
The rule was returnable this morning.
With Mr.. McVey Messrs, Salisbury,
Gray and Charles Ernest Smith, rep
resenting creditors of the company,
came into court this morning in sup
port Of Mr.. Hilles' application. AS
witnesses Mr.. Hilles presented William
LawtOn who was referred to as the
Father of Cherry Island marsh" on
which the property is located; Alvin
r. Morrison and Alfred d. Warner,
each OF whom said the property wae
worth at least $4,000.
Chancellor Nicholson thought Mr.
Hilles had shown that the property
was worth much more than Mr.. McVes
had paid for it. and therefore set the
sale aside. remarldng, as he did, that
it was the first Chancery action of the
kind.
Whom Did He Represent ?
It is the opinion of many persons
that Mr.. McVey was not the actua
purchaser Of the property. He might
have acted for the Peoples Railway
Company. in whose employ he is
which company might desire the prop
erty fcr a power house station. Fol
this it would be ideal. it being nearly
surrounded by water, which just now Is
turning the wheels Of many electric
light plants instead of steam. Should
this be true. Mr.. 'Hilles' position in the
matter cannot be understood, he also
being counsel for the railway com
pany. The presence Of Willard Sauls
bury, representing the New Castle
Railway Company, and Walter H
Hayes. the Wilmington City Railway
Company. before the court also add!
strength to the slipposition that Mr.
hlcVey was not the actual purchaser o
the property.
