Roland, claimant to the $12,000 estate of Harriet Scorield. was never married legally to the woman according to the decision of County Judge T. J. Cleeton yesterday on evidence produced by William C. Man chester and Lettie Manchester, of Salem. nephew and niece, who were declared sole heirs. A month was given Roland to prove a divorce from his first wife, who died a few days subsequent to his supposed marriage to Mrs. Scofield, ten years ago. Though he admitted on the witnesB stand that he had made no effort to locate the nephew and niece at a time when he believed them to be the sole heirs and that he had procured the payment of $150 and some property to himself from the estate through Mr. Roland without consulting the court, John Boydston was adjudged by Judge Cleeton not to have intentionally per petrated a fraud and the petition to have him removed from the administra tion of the estate was denied. Judge Cleeton rebuked the heirs for not maintaining a policy of "watchful waiting," and said that because of their neglect of their aunt they were not in a good position to complain. They replied, through Attorney John. L. Bozarth, that they had frequently visited Mrs. Scofield when living near her and that they expected confidently that if anything happened to her they would be notified by Mr. Roland, whom they believed, until recently, was her nusoana. It was four months after the death of Mrs. Scofield that the Manchesters learned of her demise and the appoint ment of the administrator. The court criticised the methods of Mr. Boydston in handling the estate. "While retained, he is under strict supervision of the court." said Judge Cleeton. "I want no more one-sided transactions. He must file all claims with the court and evidence -must be heard on both sides. The petition filed by the Manchesters accused Boydston. of fraud, asserting that he Knew of tneir whereabouts and attempted to milk the estate through the alleged husband. "I shall hold that Mr. Roland was not legally married to Mrs. Scofield. unless you bring evidence within a month, contradicting the evidence now before the court," Judge Cleeton told H. Y. Masters, attorney for Mr. Boydston and Mr. Roland. Mr. Roland hopes to present proof that the woman he first married waa divorced from Mm MEN REPORTED EMPLOYED Grand Mound Farmer Says " Girls' School Keeps Minister Out. CENTRALIA. Wash..
