delivered the opinion of the court:
This was a bill filed in the superior court of Cook county by William A. Rogan, as administrator of the estate of Warren Reif snider, deceased, against Katherine D. Arnold, for the specific performance of a contract to renew a lease. The bill alleged that Warren Reif snider at the time of his death was the owner of a leasehold interest in the premises in controversy by virtue of a written lease executed to him about October, 1902, by Katherine D. Arnold, as trustee under the will of her father, Isaac N. Arnold, for the term *20of three years, commencing May I, 1903, at a rental of $250 per month, with a covenant for an additional term of three years upon the same terms and conditions, at the option of the lessee. On March 31, 1906, appellant, as administrator of the estate of Warren Reifsnider, notified the appellee of his intention to renew the lease for £ term of three years, in accordance with the provision contained in the lease of October, 1902, and requested of her a new lease for such further term. After the receipt of such notice appellee refused to renew the lease and gave notice that she expected the premises to be vacated upon its expiration, and that if they were not then vacated she would proceed to obr tain possession thereof. On April 30, 1906, appellant filed his bill for a specific performance of the covenant of renewal and for an injunction against proceedings to recover possession pending the hearing. Appellee answered, denying that Warren Reifsnider was at- the time of his death the owner of the leasehold set forth in the bill or that she ever executed the lease of October, 1902. The answer averred that in January, 1903, a lease for a term of three years was executed by' her brother-in-law, Dr. Henry Hooper, in her name, to Warren Reifsnider, but that said lease was executed by Hooper without any authority in writing therefor, and that the will of appellee’s father, by virtue of which she was acting, conferred upon her no authority to execute a lease for that length of time. The answer invoked the Statute of Frauds as a defense against said lease and averred that the same was void and of no effect. There are other allegations in the bill and answer, but in the view we take of the case they are not material. Upon a hearing in open court the bill was dismissed for want of equity. The decree has been affirmed by the Appellate Court, and an appeal is now prosecuted to reverse the judgment of the Appellate Court.
The evidence leaves it doubtful whether the lease was signed by Katherine D. Arnold personally, or not. It is *21not doubtful, however, that if it was signed, by her personally it did not at the time contain the covenant for a renewal. The negotiation for the lease was between Dr. Hooper, Warren Reifsnider and the latter’s son, Jesse. Dr. Hooper went away and the same day or the next day brought the lease back to be signed by Reifsnider. Whether it then bore the name of Miss Arnold signed to it is uncertain. It did not contain the covenant for renewal. That covenant was then inserted by Dr. Hooper, who then either signed Miss Arnold’s name to the lease or added his initials to her name already appearing there, indicating that the execution was not by Miss Arnold personally. It is immaterial in which way the matter happened. This suit is to enforce the covenant for renewal. That covenant is not binding upon appellee by virtue of her having signed the lease, for it was not in the lease she signed. It is not binding upon her by reason of Dr. Hooper’s execution of the lease in her name, because there is no evidence that he was authorized, in writing, to execute it.
It is insisted by appellant that the Statute of Frauds does not apply because the contract has been fully performed on his part. The extent of the doctrine sought to be availed of is, that where oral contracts for the sale of an interest in land have been executed by the delivery and acceptance of deeds and nothing remains to be done but the payment of money the Statute of Frauds does not apply, but if anything else is to be done the statute does apply. (Curtis v. Sage, 35 Ill. 22; Chicago Attachment Co. v. Davis Sewing Machine Co. 142 id. 171.) Full payment of the purchase money does not take a case out of the statute. (Temple v. Johnson, 71 Ill. 13.) While the testimony shows that the appellee had the lease in her possession for a time it does not show that she had any knowledge of the covenant which had been interpolated. If she had, in fact, signed the lease herself and it was taken by Dr. Hooper to the other party to be executed and was then returned to *22her, there is no reason to presume that upon its being re- , turned to her she read it over and discovered the interpolation.
The bill alleges that Warren Reifsnider held a lease in writing executed by the appellee and containing the covenant sought to be enforced. This was a material averment and is not sustained by the evidence. The complainant can not obtain relief on another state of facts not alleged in his bill. Questions of full performance or part performance by complainant do not arise, because he has in his bill based his right upon a covenant contained in a lease in writing, and the evidence does not show any such covenant.
Judgment affirmed.
