A BABY HELD FOR DEBT.-Several months
since kerosene lamp exploded in residence of
Lewis F. Allen, on Parish near Winchester
street. AS reported In The american at the time,
Mr.. Aliens wife was in the room, holding her
baby In her arms and the blazing Oil so badly
burned the mother that she died the next day,
the little one, however, escaping without
injury. The child was taken by neighbor
named John Brooks to his home on the night of
the explosion, and now turns up as source of
litigation. Allen makes statement that the
day after his wife's funeral he went to Brooks
to get his child, but he alleges Brooks refused to
give 1t up until a previously contracted debt OF
$l5 was paid. Allen went away, and consulted
with his friends, who advised him to try again
q few days later to get his baby. He did this:
but, according to his statement, Brooks refused
to allow him to see the little one, although as
suring him it was receiving the best Of care.
Allen went away, telling Brooks that he could
rot pay the money, but must have his child.
The creditor, however, Brooks relates, remained
firm, and to repeated demands for the infant,
positively refused to yield IL up to its father,
who at last consulted lawyer T. C. Ruddel
about the case. The result was that yesterday
morning Mr.. Ruddel took Allen before Judge
Brown, In the court Of common pleas, when he
related the following story and prayed for q
writ OF habeas corpus to require Brooks to pro-
duce the child In court on Saturday morning at
10 O'Clock. The writ was issued and armed
with 1t the gr1ef-str1cken father proceeded In
search Of the man who had his child In his
possession. The little one Is named Lizzie Allen
and is about five months old.-[BaltinOre Ga
