Complainant Bulsworth T Almpenon through attorney seeks equity in District Supreme Court to void deeds transferring parts of lots 168 and 169 in square 1254 from George and Margaret Killeen to William McGuire and from McGuire and Bridget McGuire to Margaret Killeen. He also asks to set aside a deed of trust to Douglass Mackall and Julius A Medel. The suit claims a $746.24 judgment against Killeen, alleging transfers hid his debt and that no consideration passed.
