Aged Man Says That He Was Cheated Out Of Home
Signed Deed Instead of Will
Peter Fisher,a Cripple Aged 87,With A Wife Aged 84,Sues HIs Son,J.R.Fisher,For 
Recovery Of Property
Peter Fisher, a cripple87 years old,whose wife,Caroline,has passed the 84 
mark,says their son,J.R.Fisher,has endeavored to cheat them out of a house and 
two lots at Sellwood.The old man says he signed what he supposed was a will 
and which afterward transpired to be a deed of property in favor of his 
son.The latter is accused by his aged parent of compelling him to cut cordwood 
and eat at the second table.
Mr.Fisher yesterday filed suit in the State Circuit Court to revoer the 
property which he values at $1000 and which he avers is all he has to support 
himself and his aged helpmate,and his only income if from the retn of the 
house or sale of the property.He alleges that he has reared,cared for and 
brought to a man's estate his son John,the defendant in this action.
In the year 1902 John came to him with protestations of friendship and fillial 
devotion and induced him to give up his home where he was happily situated and 
live with him,John. He was to will the property to the son,but by 
misrepresentations and fraud he avers he was induced to sign a deed.
The compaint recites further that Fisher is able to understand the German 
language and was not aware the he signed a deed in which the consideration for 
the transfer wa splaced at $900.
Shortly after the deed was signed the old man asserts that he and his wife 
were treated so badly that they were compelled to leave their son's home and 
seek aid from the county.
Judge Webster investigated the case and advised his clerk,Jay Upton,who is an 
attorney, to bring this suit.
