Morning Oregonian August 4, 1904
Mrs.X.J.Faling Ordered To Contribute To His Support
She Is Said To Be Worth $100,000 While Her Brother Is Forced To Subsist On 
Charity

Mrs.Xarifia J.Faling,said to be worth over $100,000, being the owner of the 
quarter block at the southeast corner of Fifth and Washington streets,was 
ordered by the County Court yesterday morning either to support her infirm 
brother,Cornelius W.Barrett,who is 60 years old,or to pay $30 per month to the 
court for the support of the poor.In the latter event Barrett will be sent to 
the county farm.
Last spring Barrett asked the County Court to compel his sister to support 
him,alleging that he could not work,was without means of support,and was 
forced to sleep on the ground or in basements,and had to subsist wholly on 
charity. Attorney C.H.Piggott,poet,dreamer,and lawyer,made a moving appeal for 
his client,Barrett.It is likely that no appeal will be taken from the decision 
of the County Court to the Circuit Court.
