CANNOT HAVE HER CHILDREN.

u
In the habess corpus proceedings Of
Campbell We. Ruff, which was carried
to the Circuit Court of Tazewell county
bv the plaintiff, to whom writ of error
was granted Oh Monday last by Judge
R. c.. Jackson, of the Fifteenth Judicial
Circuit, was dscids d Wednesday IN
favor of the respondent. sustaining the
decision of the County Curt snd al
lowing respondents to retain the Gus
tody of the children OF the petitioner.
About FIVE years ago William GIMP
bell, OF Smythe county, died, leaving
an insane wife and seven little children,
the Youngest then about two months
old. Rev. Mr.. Ruff, Presbyterian
minister there, agreed with their guard
ian, Mr.. F. NJ. Campbell, that ne woulc
take care of TWO of the children, the
infant and girl about two and hslt
wears OF age, provided that they were
allowed to remain with him and his
wife until twenty-one years Of age.
This Was agreed to, and Pastor and
birs. Ruff have since brought up the
children. They had DO children OF tn If
own, and became very much attached
to the little ones.
Some time ago Mrs. Campbeil was
discharged from the asylum and gwen
a certificate by the superintendent
stating she was fully restored. About
Elk weeks ago she instituted proceed
ings for the custody of the children,
claiming that they were illegally d.
tanned by Mr.. Ruff. Ror. J. Fl. Stuart,
counsel for Rev. Mr.. Ruff, held that he
pastor was entitled, by virtue OF his
contrac; and agreement with the guard
ian. TO retain them.
The case attracted considerable at
tention, many people sympathizlo2
with the unfortunate mothers efforts
to secure her children. Judge Jack
son's decision may be carried to the ST.
preme Court or appeal.
