Big DAMAGE
SUIT SETTLED
OUT OF court
Guardian Of Thomas HerrOn's Son
Sues TO Gain Control Of Entire Es-
tate-WOuld Shut Out De-
CcaScd's Second Wife.

That the big damage suit against
the Bates & Rogers Construction
Company growing out of the death of
Thomas Heron, Maysville man who
received his death wounds while
working at dam 33, had been settled
out of court became known publicly
for the first time Saturday afternoon
when the guardian of Herron's only
child filed suit against the administra-
tor of the deceased and asked that the
case be settled in court.
In their petition the plaintiff, Bank
of Maysville, guardian of Thomas Lee
Heron, in suing The Equitable Trust
Company, of Dover, administrator Of
Thomas Heron deceased and Lizzie
Heron, state that the infant for
whom they are guardian is the only
child and heir at law of the deceased
and is an infant under Ia years of
age They state that there has come
into the hands of the Equitable Trust
Company as administrator Of the de-
cedent the sum of $4,000 which sum
was paid to the defendant by the
Bates & Rogers Construction Com
pany in settlement of damages arising
out of the death of the said Thomas
Heron.
The plaintiffs further state that the
defendant, Lizzie Heron, is the wild
ow of the said decedent and that said
Lizzie Heron, long prior to the death
of her husband voluntarily left her
husband and lived in adultery with
another, and from the time of his
death. They never became reconciled
or lived together as husband and wife,
the petition also states. BY reason of
said conduct on the part of the wife,
the plaintiffs contend, she forfeited all
right and interest in and to the prop
erty or estate of her husband. The SIN
thousand dollars now in the hands of
the administrators, after the payment
of the reasonable expenses and costs
of administration, is the property of
the infant, Thomas Lee Heron, they
claim in their petition and they fur
Their state that the defendant EQuit-
able Trust Company intends to pay
over part of the estate to the widow
and also to pay large and eXhorbitant
fees in connection with the collection
of the money and the settlement of the
estate.
The petitioners pray for a statement
of the estate of the decendent; that
the action be referred to the Commits
sioner of the Mason Circuit Court to
make proper allowances to the ad-
ministrator and its attorney and that
the accounts be settled and that af-
ter the payment of proper allowances,
the balance be paid over to the plain
tiff in the suit, the Bank of Maysville
as guardian of the infant Thomas Lee
Heron.
