MRS. SLACK DEMURS.
Another Legal Step Taken i'll th
Long Drawn-Out Case.


Messrs. A. S. Worthington and G. E.
Hamilton, as attorneys for Mrs. Mary
Kenlble Slack, yesterday filed n de-
niurrer TO the return made few days
ago to the writ of habeas corpus.
The points to be argued are that the
New Jersey courts gave Mrs. Slack the
custody of her children. Mrs. Perrine was
a party to the proceedings and the decree
was binding upon her: that il is immaterial
whether the domicile Of the children is in
this District or rot: that the admission to
nrobate of the will of the husband is
irrelevant because of the New Jersey
decision, and because there is no law in
this District which gives the father the
right by his will to deprive the mother or
his children of their custody and society;
that the same charges as to the fitness
OF Mrs. Slack to care for her children
were made before the New Jersey court
and by final decree it was then adjudged
| she is a fit person to have the children
and, therefore. Mrs. Perrine has no right
to renew these charges, and that this
court has power 10 go beyond the question
| of unlawful detention and pass upon future
| custody and care of the children.
