Beginning of end in famous Warner case shocks Umailta county
In circuit court Judge Bean dismissed the Warner versus Young heirs suit after two years of wills and forgeries headlines. Mable Warner, heir of J W Young, claimed a contract to educate and leave her the estate, while two forged wills and forgery charges circuited. The judge ruled the alleged contract void and inadequate to sustain the suit, while criminal charges against Mable Warner remained pending, but held over pending the civil ruling.
