Lynch of 51 ' Chambers street, who is the receiver the Wheeler properties, said the le' was made with several conditions Mittached. One was that the price tust be acceptable to him as receiver. rother was that the sale must be ap- roved by the board of goverdors of lhe stock exchange, and still a third as that the seat, despite the sale, Jnust’ remain subject to whatever claim may be filed against it.

Goldstein & Goldstein, lawyers of 66 Broadway, are the attorneys for rs. Wheeler as well as for Joseph ‘Weinstock, ‘¢he buyer of the seat. “Mrs. Wheeler ‘won't get much out of such a small selling price, will she?” the lawyer was asked. “Uh, that will be fiked up in the future. The seat will have greater value when it can be occupied,” he explained. ‘We've got the seat, and now we're going to make it valuable.” “Did you advertise the sale as re- quired by law ” he was asked. “‘Oh,. yes,” he replied. ‘We posted a notice on the sheriff’s bulletin board and another in the court house.” “Advertise it in the papers?” *“Oh, we didn’t have money enough for that.” ‘“Expect any campetitive bidders?” “Yes, we rather thought that Wheeler would have some representa- tive there to try to bid it in. We could have bid up to $7,000 without putting up a cent, you see, for that was the amount of the judgment.” “Did Mr. Wheeler know that it was to be put vp?" “Yes, we sent him notice by regis- tercd mail ten days ago, and at the same lime sent notice by registered mail to the board of governors of the Box Calf, $5 vici kid and _gun metal comfort shape shoes MEN’S WATERPROOF Specla] for Men SHOES Tan or black.
