SAYS MCCILVRAY
BROKECONTRACT

William j. Dingee. executor Of the
will of the late Alvinza Hayward. al
leges that he was taken advantage of
sale Of property at Bay and Dupont
streets belonging to the estate of the
deceased millionaire. Dingee filed suit
yesterday against McGilvray and
James McNab, who plaintiff says he
believes has an interest in the trans
action, to set aside deed to the prop
erty in question.
Dingee says that in accordance with
an order of court he offered the prop
erty in question for sale and McGilvray
bid $121, 900 for the same Subsequent
ly, but before the sale was confirmed
by the court, Dingee says that William
A. MCGEE came to him and told him
that he could get better price for the
land and would guarantee him $125,00
net. Dingee then went to McGilvray,
he says, and laid the proposition before
him and said that in view of the in
creased price offered he would ask the
property on the bid of S121,000.
McGilvray, Dingee alleges, requested
him to let the matter stand and he
would pay him the $4,000 additional.
This Dingee says he did, the sale of
the property was confirmed to McGil-
vray and he was given a deed. But,
says Dingee in conclusion, after the
confirmation McGilvray refused to pay
any greater sum than $121, 900 and 1t
was through inadvertence that the
deed was given to him before he had
first lived up to his agreement. Hence
he asks that the deed be Cancelled and
that he be authorized to return to Nc
Gilvray the $121, 600 received from him
In payment for the property.

BURGLARY CASE
FLATTENS OUT
Report of Alleged Theft of
JeweIry Worth Nearly
S1700 Is Denied Later
QUEER LOOK TO MATTER
August Portal and Fiancee,
Mrs. L. Badere, Repudiate
Tale Accredited to Them

August Portal, who tends bar at
Sixth and Folsom streets, and Mrs.
Laura Badere, who conducts a small
dyeing and repairing shop on Mont
gomery avenue, have for some time
been engaged to wed, and, it is said,
intended to have the ceremony per-
formed during the latter part of April
and depart at once for France, their
native country. Mrs. Badere occupies
room in the building at 323 Montgom-
cry avenue, next to her place of busi-
ness.
Wednesday evening Portal stopped
Policeman Thomas OConnell, whose
beat is on the avenue, and told him he
had just been in Mrs. Badere's room.
and that burglar had been there and
ransacked all the drawers. Mrs. Badere
was notified, and she hurried to the
room and found everything in great
disorder. She said the following ar
ticles of value were missing: One pair
of diamond earrings, worth $500; breast
pin containing eleven diamonds, $500;
two diamond rings, $500; wedding ring,
81; lady's gold watch, SIS; six silver
teaspoons, SIS; two revolvers, $40; coin.
S17 so. Entrance had been effected
through the door of the room.
This report is according to a state
ment filed with Acting Chief Spillane
by Policeman O'Connell.
Portal and Mrs. Badere promised to
appear before Captain of Detectives
Burnett yesterday morning and give
further details of the alleged burglary.
They did not appear. Inquiries of Mrs
Badere elected the startling statement
that nothing had been stolen from her
room and, that she had not reported
any robbery. From Portal came SIM
liar statements. He declared he had
never reported that there had been a
burglary. The woman seemed in an
excited frame of mind: the man wore
a sheepish look.
The landlady at 1923 Montgomery ave-
nue said she had not heard of any
burglary having taken place in the
! house.
The denials of the pair, taken in con-
| junction with the report of the po-
| liceman. make a peculiar state of af-
| fairs. Portal has been keeping COM
pany with Mrs. BaGere for about four
months. Her husband died last year.
and, 1t is said, left her a little money.
| She was not known to have such val
liable jewelry.
| The couple were together in the dye
| ing shop yesterday and seemed on
| friendly terms, though the lady was
very sharp in telling him not to talk
when he essayed to answer questions
concerning the alleged burglary.

Another glance over her shoulder
convinced the fair quarry that her
pursuers were rapidly closing the gap,
and to their dismay she spurted and
loudly yelled as she ran:
"Po-leece! Help! Robbers. Helpi
Thievesl Help! Kidnapers. Help,
Burglars Help"
Her cries were heard by Patrolman
CASTOR, who dashed to the rescue and
captured the creators of her alarm

inquired the officer.
'Wot did she wave de rag at me
for?" was Mr.. Dougherty's counter
query.
WY did she give me de mash sign?''
asked Mr.. Bahr.
When the female recovered her
breath she explained that she was re-
turning from her milliner's and wear
ing a dream of an Easter hat to sub
NIT for her husbands inspection when
the rain suddenly descended, and it
was to protect her precious headgear

loosen its folds. The impudence of
Messrs. Dougherty and Bahr in sup
posing that she signaled to either or
both of them TO follow her was more
than she could understand
Judge Conlan also expressed amaze
ment at the self-conceit shown by the
two unprepossessing figures before him.
He pronounced them guilty of yag-
rancy and deplored the reluctance of
she whom they had pursued to appear
in court and his resultant deprivation
Of opportunity TO punish them for
