SIGNED AWAY HER CHILD.
Mrs. solberg Accuses an Absent At
torney OF Misleading Her.

People may have vaInly imagined that
they were through hearing about the IN
savory soiberg divorce case when Mrs.
soloergs strange confession OF infamy
was flied and the decree OF divorce was
signed. but not so. Clara Ann Solberg
the wife IN the case yesterday filed q SEN
sational petition asking for a vacation OF
the order OF adoption made last month
by virtue Of which the custody OF her
tie child was given to Andrew O. Sol
berg.
The grounds on which Mrs. Solberg
makes this application are peculiar. 10
say the least. She states that on July .,
about a week before the order Of adoption
was signed. she called at the Office Of
Frank II. Knapp, the attorney who then
had charge OF her divorce suit against
Andrew Q. Soiberg. She states that Mr..
Knapp appeared confused and in a hur-
~ that he hastily presented two papers
10 her asking her 10 sign them. and IL
sisting that she sign them at once: that
She cannot read, being totally unacquaiut-
ed with written language, and knew moth
ing whatever of the contents OF the pa
pegs. which, nevertheless, at his request
she signed supposing them 10 be some
necessary forms in connection with her
divorce case Not till weeks afterwari
she says, did she learn that one of the two
papers thus blindly signed was a petition

Earl Carpenter. and permission 10 change
the child's name.
The petition was duly presented ia
court, and on July 20 the order Of adoption
was granted and signed Now Mrs Sol
berg claims that Mr.. Solberg has taken
the child and placed Il in the care Ct
strangers who are totally incapable OF
giving IL proper attention. and that its
ion Is Sfa~tN fH4~ Zfr
time for want Of proper care. She there
fore asks that the order OF adoption may
be vacated with view 10 giving the child

Charles Coughlin, a laborer, is III at
Providence hospital from sunstroke A
year or so ago. while in the East, he was
overcome by the heat and suffered con-
siderably. Yesterday afternoon he expert
Rnced another attack, due. undoubtedly. to
the fact that he had been working IN the
hot sun for some time. Last evening he
was so III that It became necessary TO send
him TO Providence hospital.
