WIDOW SUING IN EFFORT TO REGAIN FARM Alleges She Was Ordered Away From Home When Unable to Work. B,u Timex Special ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 12.—Mrs. Emma L.

Canaday, and his wife, Dovie, living on a farm northeast of the city of Elwood. Heeding alleged earnest requests, the widow says she left her farm in October, 1927, and went to live on the farm of the defendants. Six months later, it is complained, the defendants prevailed upon Mrs. Canaday to deed the farm to them on their advice that if she kept the farm it would be taken by the state to pay for the care and maintenance of the widow’s son, an inmate of a state hospital for mental treatment. Mrs. Canaday signed the deed upon the promises of the defendants, she avers, that they would provide a comfortable home for her the remainder of her life. A consideration of $3,000 was stated in the deed, but this was a pretended consideration and there was actually no money involved in the transaction, the complaint recites. The widow asserts that instead of being kept in ease she was compelled to do drudgery about the house and work in the fields and finally, a few weeks ago when she was unable to go into a field to pick tomatoes, she says she was ordered to leave and not return. A second suit filed by the widow on account demands S9OO from the defendants for collections made in house and pasture rent and sale of corn from the farm.
