YoungdahI Holds Up
Foreclosure Against
Woman, Age 1O3

A foreclosure sale by auction
on the home of a 103-year-old
woman to satisfy a mortgage the
aged property owner contends is
usurious was prevented yesterday
by Federal Judge Luther Young
dahl.
Judge Youngdahl granted a
preliminary Injunction, effective
until q heaying can be held early
in October. in favor of Mrs.
Bertha Schaeffer of 2745 Brandy
wine street NV.
|, The holder of the $4,000 sec
ond deed of trust note, Mabel r.
Jordon of 1893 Spring place NV.
and v. Stuart Davis of 1913 I
street NV, were named defend
ants.
Acting for Grandmother.
Mr.. Davis was named as the
substitute trustee for Mrs.
lSchaeffer's grandson, Samuel A.
Young, of the Brandywine street
address. Mr.. Young was acting
for his grandmother at the time
she made the note, the suit said.
According to her brief, Mrs.
Schaeffer needed $4,000 to meet
expenses in October, 1851, when
she was 100 years old. She bor-
rowed the money secured by her
home from Miss Jordon acting as
executrix for the estate of her
late sister, Edna Jordon. The
note was made payable to Frank
Eppler-a device the centenarian
asserts was a "subterfuge."
In order to get the $4,000,
Mrs. Schaeffer said through her
lawyer, Joseph j. Urciola, she
was forced to agree to a $1,100
bonus payment and $400 in
"other charges"
Usury Charged.
Her suit alleged the "entire
transaction was fraught with
usury" and that she was charged
6 per cent interest on the orig
inal loan of $4,000, plus the
$500 additional charges. Before
falling in arrears. Mrs. Sehaef-
fer said she had paid 1919 and
still owes $2,081.
The auction of her home was
stopped by Judge Burnita Shell
ton Matthews by a temporary
restraining order on August Is,
one hour before an auction was
scheduled to take place.
Judge Youngdahl's action to-
day prevented the sale Of the
house upon the automatic 10
day expiration of the earlier de-
cree by Judge Matthews.
The controversial second trust
note is now in the hands of
William H. Ramsey of 1882 JON
quill street i. NV, an attorney
for Miss Jordon.
