Butler’s Fee Held Up By Court In Civil Case
Former Senator Matthew C Butler of South Carolina must wait for the fall term of the District Supreme Court to collect 75006 from the United States Treasury. The dispute centers on a contract with the Cherokee Indians and a large counsel fee allegedly amounting to about 300000, with Congress having appropriated over 1008000. Attorneys Shelley and Martin contest the payment, asserting the contract is void as against public policy. Judge Weight has delayed payment, directing $70000 to remain with the Treasury and the balance to Indian lawyer Robert L Owen, until the fall when the demurrer on the contract is argued.
