crushing defeat to-day when their united
efforts to beat the court failed. Douglas
NJ. Stahlman had applied, through his at
torney. ex-Prosecutor Heard, in the Su-
periOr Court, to get possession of his two
children. Public sentiment was so strong
against granting the request that the
church people Of the city induced Repre-
sentative Crumpacker to defend the chill
dren. who were under guardianship. The
case was bitterly fought. but Judge
Tuthin refused to grant the petition and
return the children to their father. and a
guardian was reappointed. The case is
causing widespread interest because of the
peculiar action taken. Stahlman was

follower: she vas not AT the birth OF

water upon her while she was i'll, telling
her to get up, and said a doctor would have
10 walk over his dead body to treat her.
When citizens and ~neighbors heard of this
treatment they became indignant n had

clans and a justice OF the peace. held an
inquiry and StahlLnan was a%djudged in

Within twenty-four hours Stahlman was
taken out of the city. He shortly after re-
turned and was told not TO return upon
penalty OF being taken TO the insane asy-
lum. Officers were ready to-day to serve
papers upon him had he appeared. but he
failed TO do so, and was represented by
