Scott's character defamed
Additionally his life savings were sent to his brother. It has been suspected that because it was a such substantial amount ($103.50), that this money might have indicated an immoral lifestyle.[16] The conclusion regarding Scott's savings is the exact opposite of that given by Rev. George Young.

The Reverend George Young, who attended Scott in his last hours, reprinted this testimonial in his 1897 memoir, noting that after the execution he had forwarded Scott’s papers to his brother Hugh. These papers included “many commendatory letters of introduction, with certificates of good character, from Sabbath-school teachers and the Presbyterian minister with whose church he had been connected in Ireland, as well as from employers whom he had served faithfully.” Among the material forwarded to Hugh Scott were savings of $103.50...The presence of substantial savings do not suggest a riotous lifestyle.
