NEW YORK REALTY
WORTH S10,0OO,0OO
WON BY ATLANT |ANS

New York City realty of an esti'
mated value of $1O,OO0,000, compos
ing the estate Of the late Bishop
Caleb Key, is about to become the
property of Mrs. w. G.. Malone, OF
No. Cascade place, and her
nephews, Jack and Bruce Young, OF
Charlotte, n. c., according to Jack
Young.
Mrs. Malone and Mr.. Young ex
himself will fall heir to the rich
pect to leave Atlanta Friday for New
York, where, Mr.. Young states, a
compromise will be consummated
whereby his aunt, his brother and
lands left many years ago by Bishop
Key, of whom they are lineal de-
sCendants.
Mr.. Young withheld the names of
the Atlanta attorneys and the New
York lawyers through whom, it is
stated, the compromise has been
effected. He also withheld definite
description of the property, which is
understood to be situated in the
proximity of Broadway and Twenty
third streets.
The Caleb Key fortune, to WHICH,
it is said, Mrs. Malone and her
nephews are about to fall heir, dates
back to the time when New York
City was New Amsterdam. The prop
erty then acquired by Martin Key,
founder of the fortune, has, it is
1iH hoon ha1I iofac cipco
pre-revolutionary days, until now
the holdings comprise some of the
most valuable realty in the great
city.
Realty Held Intact
At his death, it is said, Martin
Key requested that his realty hold
ings be not sold, because even then
he realized their potential value. His
wishes were respected and through
the intervening years the land has
never been sold, though, of course,
it has been improved and, indeed, is
now tenanted by lessons.
Bishop Caleb Key, a native Geor-
gian. inherited the valuable estate.
At the time of his death, the prop
erty was leased, and his will made
no disposition of the fortune, ac-
cording to the heirs.
Mrs. Malone is a daughter Of the
late Bishop Key, but until last sum-
mer she made no move toward es-
tablishing her title to the property,
as the surviving heir of her father.
But last summer. negotiations were
begun that had for their object the
restoration of the Caleb Key for
tune to its legal and rightful
owners
