AGED WOMAN IN
FIGHT FOR HOME
Charges She Was Swindled Out
of Property-Case Before
Vice-Chancellor.

Further evidence In the suit of Mrs.
Johanna c. Thon. seventy-five years
old, to establish a lien on her former
home. which, she claims, was taken
from her by fraud will be heard be-
fore Vice-Chancellor Emory next
Wednesday. At the next hearing At
torney Adam j. Rossbach, represent
ing the aged woman, VIII endeavor to
have Clarence Wander Blatt, who en-
gineered the deal, explain certain al
legged irregularities.
During the taking of testimony in
the case yesterday in chancery cham
bers 1t was brought out that Mrs.
Thon unlxnowingly decided away her
property, valued at $4,000, for $50 in
| cash. The purchaser. Alex Pier. of
| 2S7 sixteenth avenue. claims he holds
| a receipt for 1900 which he says he
paid to Mrs. Thon The latter denied
that she received more than $3.50
from Pier.
In December, 1911, Pier and Mrs.
Thon entered into an agreement for
! the purchase of the Thon home at
| "a Peat street. Clarence Wander
Blatt, an attorney. prepared the pa
pers in the deal for Pier at the home
of Mrs. Thon. 1t was agreed that
| Pier was to pay a deposit of $50, as
sumo a mortgage Of $1,000 and pay
81, 500 In cash.
! In drawing up the agreement Blatt
stipulated that Mrs. Thon was to
have the possession of her apart
ments. rent free, for the rest of her
life. This condition was left out of
the deed, which was also drawn up
by Blatt. The latter was on the wit
ness stand yesterday testifying for
Pier when Vice-Chancellor Emory
called his attention to the difference
between the agreement and the deed
Blatt attempted to explain the mat
ter away by saying Il was an over
sight. but he met with little success

either one of the documents was

Mrs. Thon became so i'll after the
passing of the title which cost her a
home that she was Obliged to move
to the home of a son at 427 South
Twelfth street. When her relatives
learned of her deal with Pier they
charged that the woman had been the
victim of one of the meanest swindles
on record. Counsel was engaged to
bring suit to establish a lien of 81 500
on the property in favor of Mrs.
Thon.
At that time Mrs. Thon was unable
to leave her bed, due to infirmities
resulting from old age. a special
master in chancery, an interpret ct
and a stenographer took her deposit
ton at her bedside, but the woman
rallied in time to appear as a wit
ness at the trail She had to be as
sisted to and from the witness stand
by court attaches.
Mrs. Thon does not read or speak
English. On the stand she told her
story through an interpreter. who
had to place his ear close to the
woman's mouth to catch her words,
She presented pathetic figure on
the stand, fighting for her home, and
her story appeared to make a deep
impression on the v'ce-chancellor.
