The Barnes Children are Given Into
the Care Of Their Grandmother.
Both Father and Mother May Visit
Them, and Have Them at Roas-
enable Intervals.
HABEAs CORPUS WRIT DECIDE

Circuit Judge Husbands rendered a
Judgment this morning something on
the order of the one recorded OF Solo
mon. He was called upon to decide
which should have the custody Of two
children, their father, Mate John I.
Barnes of the Dick Fowler, or their
mother, who is now Mrs. Nora
Sharks.
The children were awarded their
father when the couple were divorced,
but their mother some time since filed
a petition alleging that their father
was not the proper person to care for
them, alleging that he was neglecting
them, and asking that the court award
her and her husband the custsdy Of
the two children. Thomas and Ernest.
Yesterday afternoon the father sued
out a writ Of habeas corpus to compel
Mrs. Shsnks to produce the cnildsen.
1t seems she got possession of them,
and the fatAer wanted them. The
court heard the evidence and this
morring rendered Judgment giving
neither the children.
The. court oyders THAT the children
shall rot be removed from the city of
Paducah without the consent OF the
court. That they shall be kept by
their grandmother, Mrs Mary Rhodes,
and shall be supported by their faith
err. He snail heve persuasion to visit
them at all times, and they to visit
him, and their mother shall visit
them whenever she chooses, and they
be permitted to visit her as often as
deemed reasonable.
In other words, their grandmother
is to keep them, subject to the pleas
ure of the father and mother, who
are restricted, however, in their
authority over the children by the
court in such a way that each may en-
Joy them without excluding the other,
and neither shall have absolute con-
troll or possession of them
The petition of Ed and Nora Shanks
for permanent custody OF the children
will not come mp until the next term
of court, the present order being only
temporary.

vestigation Of the charges against
Keeper of the Poor Farm W. b.
Padgett and will probably not con-
clude by night The session was call
ed by County Judge Lightfoot for the
purpose, and the inquiry is being con-
Quoted behind closed doors, indicating
that affairs have been such that they
should be kept from the general pub
lie.
All the inmates Of the poor farm,
and some who have been discharged,
it is Understood, have been summoned
as witnesses, and everything possible
likely to shed light on the alleged mis-.
management Of the institution will be
fully investigated.
It is rumored that there may yet be
sensational developments. despite the
effort that is being made to keep the
