Mrs. Dabney F1atly Refuses to

Owner Of Plantation Offers to
Take Whole Family and Give
Them House.

ney OF the abuse and ill-troatment on
the part OF her husband, FontAlne Dab
ney Mrs Dabney and her seven chit.
dren arc still ut tho Ballard House.
under care Of tho Associated, Charities.
A number Of people Of Richmond have
seen to it that tho boys are warmly
clothed, and the family are now moro
comfortable than for some timo.
Mr.. Julian Morris, Of Kcswick, who
has at times given Dabney some em-
ployment on his farm. called up Super
intendent Buchanan. OF tho Associated
Charities, yesterday, over the long dis
tance phone, and talked With him with
regard to Inducing Mrs. Dabney to re-,
turn to her husband. Mr.. Morris con-
firmed her statement, however, that
Dabney had ill-treated his wife and
family. Superintendent Buchanan felt
that he could not advise the woman
to leave her husband, although he pro-
scntcd to her the sdiinculties that would
confront her In pursuing such course.
Mrs Dabney was firm. however, in her
decision not to so back TO Kcswick,
saying that she had left her husband
more than once before, and had been
induced her to return, under promises OF
better treatment, which were never
kept. 1t Is not probable that Dabney
will be financially able to make any
legal claim for tho children, nor does
DR.. Buchanan think 1t will be difficult
to show, in view of the woman's tes-
timony, which is fully confirmed, that
he Is not a suitable person to have
them.
Offer for Whole Family.
number OF offers have come in
from persons wishing to take one OF
the Older boys. and there is no doubt
that II It We're considered best that
homes could be secured for all the
older children. but the mother is OPP
posed to breaking up the family. In
this DR.. Buchanan and the authorities
of the Associated Charities ngrco, since
in q few years the boys will become
the main stay, of the family, and with
such a mo Their as Mrs. Dabney mas
proved to be, there Is no doubt that
In short time tho family would be
on It's feet again.
An offer has been received from n
gentleman owning large plantation
In Virginia to take the whole family,
give them house on his place, with
q COW and some chickens in return
for the assistance OF the older boys
on the farm. DR.. Buchanan is inves-
tigating this offer, and Is quite pro-
liable Fthat 1t will De accepted and
that IN Ia short time the older boys
will be earning comfortable home
for their mother.
