The suit of Margaret Parsley to recover a
one-third interest in the estate Of her late
husband was compromised and settled in
the Circuit Court yesterday. Mrs. Parsley
was suing her stepchildren. They were de-
Tending the case on the ground that when
their father married the plaintiff both en-
tered into an ante-nuptial contract as to
the disposition of their property when they
died. This contract. it was asserted, would
prevent Mrs. Parsley from claiming a one
third interest In the estate. However, the
contract could not be produced I'm court and
the defendants claimed 1t had either been
lost or destroyed.
Thursday evening as court was about adj
journing Judge Allen remarked to the liti-
giants that he thought this a very good
case to settle. He said ii looked as If it
might be in the courts a long time and
as the situation appeared to him, the per-
son who won would be the loser in the end
Yesterday morning the parties to the suit
decided to accept the courts advice and
spent a good part of the day trying to
reach settlement. They were successful
in the afternoon. By the terms of the
settlement Mrs. Parsley is to receive the
homestead residence in Washington town.
