Today the decision OF Judge Dubois

but not in the way Mr.. Richardson asked
to have II modified. for his honor takes
the child away from the father and gives
II TO the mother who is married again
The father is given the right to see the
child at reasonable times.
Judge Dubois in announcing his decision
showed how deeply the testimony had af-
fected him. There had been very severe
attacks made on the character OF Mrs
Richardson by her former husband and
his second wife
Counsel for Mr.. Richardson. his honor

the gravity Of the act he was calling
upon the court to perform. y was in the
nature of a severe surgical operation. thus
severing OF a mother from the company
of her daughter entirely. The case. his
honor said. was complicated by the d.
vorce and remarriages OF the parties IL
differed from the ordinary case of a step
mother for a stepmother was usually
married TO a widower The time might
come, his honor said. when one of those
interested in the case might have a child

mothers love for her child. The charge
was made against the former Mrs. Rich
ardson that she had been unfaithful. but
she had remarked and II was to be pre-
suned she would lead a correct life. The
matter OF whether she might have the
company of her child or not might prove
a most potent factor In her future career.
His honor said the father had not fol-
lowed the proper course. for when the
mother saw the child at his home there
were always strangers present. The
child was too young as yet TO be affected
by the charges made against her mother
but one could not calculate the good the
child's company might do the mother. II
might cause both TO be better.

custody 10 the mother makes a mistake
that mistake can be remedied at any time
and no doubt the father and other parties
will watch the child and its mother
closely. His honor finally directed that
the mother should have the custody OF
the little girl and that the father might
have the right to visit her at reasonable
times.
