THE COMMITTEE MEETING.
How the Favorable Decision Was Finally
Arrived At.

How the Favorable Decision Was Finally
Arrived At.
The meeting of the committee was held at
the House of Reception, 81 West Thirteenth
street, and the attendance was larger than is
usual ON such occasions.
Chairman Charles ID. Adams was present,
and presided, and with him were Committee
men John f. Plummer, Gustav Schwab, MUIR
ray Williams and Joseph Peck. besides Elisha
M. Carpenter, the Superintendent of the asy-
lum at One Hundred and Seventy-sixth
street.
II was the unusual Importance of the bust
ness to come up before the meeting that had
brought them all together, for they were to
consider the new evidence that had been col
lected and laid before them by The EVENING
WORLD regarding the circumstances and re-
sponsibihty of Josie ~Shephard's uncle in
Rochester, and to give their final decision in
the matter for the return of the boy, for
which THE EVENING WORLD has been making
such a persistent struggle for the past three
months.
The EVENING WoRLD was also represented
at the meeting, and its counsel, Mr.. De
Lancey Nicoll,. was there to present the final
evidence and to argue the case, If necessary,
before the committee
Mr.. John Sheppard, Josie's uncle, had
made an application for the return and sur
render of the boy last August, and since that
time every effort has been made to gather
evidence as TO his ability TO properly care for
and bring up the child SO strong that the
committee would have no alternative but to
consent to his return.
The character of this evidence will be seen
in the certificates and letters from many
well-known people of Rochester which are
to be found in the columns of The EVENING
WORLD to-day. That these efforts were
abundantly effective is proved by the de-
cision of the committee last night, and the
triumph of The EVENING WoRLD Is complete.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. Adams, the
Chairman of the committee, the boy had not
been indentured. although he was sent TO the
West last May for hat purpose, for he, az
well as the other members of the committee,
The evening world., 1888-09-18

phase of the question. He was instructed
garding the uncle's character and ability to
care for his nephew. The evidence secured
as a result of the efforts in Rochester
and elsewhere was, as Mr.. De Lancy
Nicoll. Til EVENING WORLDS legal
representative, declared, conclusive and
impregnable." Mayor Parsons, of Roch-
ester Judge w erner, of the County Court /;
Charles s. Cook, School Commissioner, and
other officials of Rochester testified in Mr..
Shephard's behalf.
The Humane Society of Rochester under
took a spec ial investigation, and President
H. A.. Smith signs a report indorsing the
Sheppard family. Father Hartley, vice
rector of st. Patrick's Church, and other
clergymen of Protestant persuasion added
their important and unanswerable testimony.
From the employer of Mr.. Sheppard q
transcript of his books was secured,
showing that he had a regular
and respectable income. Many well-known
lawyers in Rochester. numerous neighbors
Of the ~Shephards. old friends of the family in
this city. and many others furnished cumu-
lative evidence. A picture of Mr.. and Mrs.
Sheppard and a photograph of the house and
grounds they occupy were included in the
exhibit.
This accommodating evidence was presented
to the 1ndenturing Committee prior to
any publication as a matter of courtesy.
After due consideration the committee have
decided that the case is established and will
surrender Josie Sheppard to his uncle under
articles of indenture.
The evening world., 1888-09-18

desired that fullest investigation should be
made and all the facts laid before them be-
fore deciding finally upon a matter of 30
much consequence to the child's friends and
relatives.
These facts were all in their possession be-
fore their meeting last night, and with some
additional matter which had been received
later, the COMMITTEES at once pet TO ygEk TO
After a private session Of three-quarters Of
an hour, during which the case was very
carefully discussed. Chairman Adams re-
guested that the representatives of The
EVENING WORLD and MIR. Nlcoll should ap-
pear before the committee.
In q good-natured way he stated that it
would not be necessary to argue the ques-
ton, because the committee had unanimously
arrived at its decision.
Upon the new evidence which has been
presented by The EVENING WORLD" he said,
- the matter has assumed an entirely differ
emit aspect, and the committee is of the
opinion that it co~nclusively shows the ability
OF the uncle to provide a suitable home for
the boy, Joseph Sheppard. The statements of
those who are personally acquainted with John
Sheppard show that he is an industrious and
sober man, of good character, and the COM
mittee feel justified in ordering the return of
the child and its surrender to him. provided
he will take it under indenture as the rules
of the society provide"
Al the other members of the com
mittee signi6ed their concurrence in
III NSSibloh hhu WhSh 49, h1oaA
ance was given that Mr.. Sheppard
would be willing to take the boy under any
conditions that the society might impose, it
was ordered that he should be returned
forthwith.
The certificate of Mr.. Sheppard and his
wife that they would adopt Josie, educate
him and bring him Up as their W son was
put in evidence.
According to the decision of the commit
tee. Josie will not return to New York, but
will be sent directly to his uncle in ROches-
ter as soon as the latter shall have
complied with the usual requirements
of the law and signed the indenturing instru-
ment. This gives the society control over
the child until his majority, but this author
ity is only exercised SO far as to sec that the
conditions OF the bond are properly fulfilled
by the person to whom a child is indentured.
1t is safe to say that in Josie Shephard's
case there is no reason to fear that the CON-
mittee will ever have cause to Iegret its de-
cisior. or that the boy himself will not have
a good home and the best of parental care
and guidance.

FATHER ~HARTLEY's IMPORTANT Z
ROCHESTER, N. T., Aug. 2S, 1888.

10 thom q may concern
l, the undersigned, do hereby certify that
John Sheppard. now residing at 1898 North
Clinton street. Rochester, N. Y. is we'll
known to me. Some two years ago he and his
wife applied to me to adopt a little boy from
st. Mary's Orphan Asylum oyer which l have
charge. Before giving him the child he was
thoroughly investigated and found to be an
honest, industrious, temperate and good
living Christian.
I saw the family a few days since, and am
satisfied that the child adopted is as vel
cared for and cherished as an own son, ana
that the said Mr.. Sheph ard and wife ere very
respectable and very nice people and quito
worthy of confidence.
am, furthermore, happy to be of service
to them, il possible, by this humble testi-
monial. JAMES +. HARTLEY.

: WELL SPOKEN OF By EVERY ONE"
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Aug. Is,

ROCHESTER,. N. Y, Aug. l5, 1888.
DEAR SIR / have tried to carry out your
instructions to the letter and the Enclosures
form a part of the result. The Superintend-
ent of the House Of Refuge resides four miles
from the Shephards and is too busy to make
letter from Rev. Father Hartley, assistant at
the Cathedral, probably Friday. The little
boy in the photo is also an adopted child. but
he is cared for as though ne were their own.
Hartley and his testimonial will be a good
one. Rev. DR.. Sankey is a relative of Ira d.
Sankey and one of the leading local clergy
men. The photo of the house is a proof
from one taken in the winter. This accoun
for the snow.
Personally I can say that I never found
any family in their circumstance SO we'll
spoken of by every one as the Shephards, but
it has been the longest and most elaborate of
work in M experience to obtain what l
have. Hope it will be satisfactory. Re-
spectfully, d. A. WILEY.

MIR. wILLKY's REPORT.

Following, are extracts from the private
resentatives under various dates
RocHRsTER, July 81, 1888.
The undersigned has visited the IShep-
hard family, and after inquiring into the
circumstances would report rs follows
John Sheppard and his wife are middle
aged people, who have resided in Rochester
about eight years. Mr.. Sheppard is a shoe
burnisher by trade, and has been employed
in Cowles' shoe factory for the past Ave
years. His piecework book shows that he
earns from $l5 to $25 per week,
rarely less than $l7: The family consists of
himself, wife. and boy, the latter five years
of age. This house is situated on North Clin-
ton street, in the suburbs of the city, about
three blocks from one of the public schools.
II is n small frame structure, a story and q
half in height, and contains eight rooms. A
devoted to vegetable garden. The house
has only been built two years, and the Shep-
hard family rent 1t at the rate of So per week.
The neighbors are mostly German of the
poorer class, but quiet, law-abiding and IN
dustrious people.
A casual observer would always notice at
q glance that the interior of the house is
kept in a tidy and clean condition. Mrs.
sheppard appears to be a thrifty,
and motherly" in her demeanor and
bears an excellent reputation among her
~neighbors. She told her visitor that she and
her husband wore anxious to obtain Josie u
he would be like an older brother to their
own child and could look out for him when
the two went to school. They state that
their intention is to bring him up just
as their own son incidentally ii
was learned that Mrs. Shepherds
father and mother died a number OF years
before she was married, leaving her an or
phan also. To sum the matter up. it would
seem that the Shephards are honest, indus
trious and respectable people.
