lFrOm the New hOrk herald June Iy.J
The counsel of the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Children appeared in the
Supreme Court yesterday, before Judge Pot
ter, having with him n beautiful boy, three
wears old and applied for an order to deliver
the child to its mother, resident of Phiadel-
phia, which was granted. The story is one
of those sad incidents of real life which read
like the fancies of the novelist. In March
last an advertisement appeared in the Herald
Offering for adoption by some kind, wealthy
lady 1.-THE most beautiful three-ye boy
in New York" The superintendent of the
above named society answered this advertise
ment, and had an interview with Mrs. Fa-
gan who admitted she was not the childs
mother but was unwilling to give its real
name. Her story was that the mother was
dead: that the father boarded with her and
could not take proper care of the child, but
would want five hundred dollars as a compen-
saton for giving it up for adoption. The SUI
perintendent careful not to alarm the woman
lest the child should be spirited away, enter
ed into an arrangement with her for its adop-
ton by lady, and meanwhile had watch
put upon Mrs. Fagan's movements. She was
traced to n house up town, and the discovery
was eventually made that the boys mother Is
highly respectable lady now occupied as
govelness in Philadelphia that she had been
married at Wilmington, Del, to a man nam
ed Robert Lee Pass, who, although once wor-
thy and industrious, became dissipated, The
same old story of i'll treatment, neglect and
final abandonment followed. Mrs. Jennie
Lee Pass has three children, of whom the boy
in question is the youngest and her husband
completed the list of his crueltes by visiting
his wife's residence in her absence and carry
ing oil the youngest child. 1t seems that he
and the boy have been since then living with
the woman who offered the child for adop-
ton. The mother, who has been unable to
trace her little one, is said to be overjoyed at
its recovery, and should any further outrage
be attempted by her husband he will no
doubt be visited with as severe a punishment
as the law will permit
