Senator William H. Reynolds of Brooklyn
took flyer in act last summer Heswapped,
as president OF the First Construction
Company. a $1,000 equity in Park slope
real estate for eighteen old masters, an
assorted lot alleged to be 10y Raphael, Muri'-

Others whose names are not 40 familiar.
Since the contracts were signed the two
modern houses at So and 840 Second street
which constituted his end OF ;he trade,
have seemed more worth having TO Nr.
REYNOLDS than the dim and cracked can
vases lie refused 10 keep bis bargain.
and Henry NJ Wiltsie Of 100 Quincy street,
who owned the eighteen assorted sued him.
Yesterday Justice Gaynor decided that
Senator Reynolds didn't have 10 take the
paintings. on the gouud that they weren't
genuine works Of the masters named in
the catalogue which Wiltsie furnished HIM
The Justice said Niltsie was guilty OF con-
s,ructive fraud
On the other hand Wiltse held that he
had never guaranteed the authenticity
Of the canVAses. ana the catalogue. he said,
was merely list of the paintings. which
was given TO him when they came into his
hands.
According to the contract the value OF
the paintings was TO be- passed upon hy
Jury OF experts before they were entered
in the trade. This jury. which consisted of
Louis X. Erich. Charles De Kay and William
Macbeth, made majority report which
fixed the value Of the eighteen paintings
atSl7 .s15. Mr.. Macbeth dissented, and made
the figure s9,07S The prices placed after
each number in the catalogue which Mr..
Wiltsie received when he came into possess
sion Of the collection amounted upto $40
0Oo. He won't say how much they actually
cost him.
Six of the canVases are in the Brooklyn
Institute Of Arts and Sciences. Here they
are listed "a ancient copies or under the
general heads italian School, Seventeenth
Century. Flemish School, Sixteenth Gem
