Suit Dismissed In Fraud Suit Over Farm Transfer
A Detroit couple, Dr. Thomas F. Thornton and wife, sued Dr. Orion K. Thomson and wife in Onondaga township claiming fraud in taking possession of their farm. The suit was discontinued by stipulation as the Thortons deeded their property to Thomson in exchange for a half interest in Thomson’s Detroit medical practice, valued by Thornton as mostly worthless though Thomson claimed about $20,000 annually. The terms of settlement are undisclosed. The report also notes a Democratic caucus schedule and health advertisement items from the era.
