Attorney Frank L. Moore and
w. H. Casady Want Big
Cut of Scott Estate.
FOR ATTORNEY FEES
Claim Attorneys Were to Have
Half of Total Sum Left
to Warren F. Scott.

one of the largest civil actions ever
filed i'll the district court In this
county was placed on record last
Monday when Frank l.. Moore of
Moscow filed an action against War
ren r.. Scott and wife and the exc
cutors of the Wallace Scott estate
for the sum of $S7 800, w. II. Casady,
formerly OF this city, also being
party to the action.
The suit is brought by these at
torneys claiming that they were EN-
ployed by Warren II. Scott in a suit
brought at one time against Wallace
Scott to enforce alleged rights of War
rem Scott in the community property,
because of the death OF Mrs Scott at
the time when the statute provided
that one-half of the community prop
erty should descend to the heirs.
Warren f. Scott is known as the
adopted son of Wallace Scott and It
was claimed in the previous suit that
there was an agreement made that
he should inherit the property. This
suit was compromised by Wallace
Scott, who. it is alleged stated he
would leave a certain amount Of mon
ey to Warren r. Scott on his death.
different agreement was entered into
by Wallace Scott and Warren Scott
for the payment Of sums of money to
the latter during his lifetime and a
different amount at his death. As a
marriage settlement Warren transfer
rd to Mrs. Scott at the time of their
marriage all of the property which
he was entitled to receive from Wal
lace Scott. 1t is also understood
that there was some claim that War
rem SCOTS attorneys secured the first
compromise settlement out OF Wallace
Scott in the absence Of his own attorn-
eys.
1t is alleged by the attorneys filing
this action that they had half in
! terest in the contract 80 secured and
that the marriage settlement made
by Warren Scott to Mrs Scott is fraud
uhnt and ask To have their half in-
terest enforced against the estate anu
the share of Warren Scott
The defendants set up the claim, IL
is understood here. that neither Mr.
Scott nor Mrs Warren Scott had any
knowledge OF the alleged agreement
and also deny there was any improper
motive in making the subsequent ar
rangements.
