MOTHERS FIGHT FOR
CHILD NEARLY ENDS
HUSBAND WANTS HER PUT IN
ASYLUM
Son Testifies Against Her Before
Lunacy Commission, but Evidence
Is So Weak Woman Is
Discharged

A mothers battle for the possession
of her 11-year-old daughter has, accord
ing to the humane officers of Los An
geles county, almost landed Mrs. Cath
crime Forncrook of Detroit, Mich, in
the insane asylum at Patton. Testify
ing against her before the lunacy COM
mission was her 22-year-old son, Clar-
ence. He was the only witness, the
husband. f. w. Forncrook, who swore
to the insanity complaint, not being
present. A woman to whose planning
Mrs. Forncrook lays the blame for her
troubles is in the general emergency
hospital, suffering from injuries sus-
tanned a few days ago.
Six years ago, according to Mrs.
Forncrooks s story her husband, a mail
carrier left his home in Detroit. They
entered into an agreement whereby the
mother was to keep the two children
and the father would send her $40 a
month Forncrook came to California.
The wife received no news of his where
abouts, but about a wear later he re-
turned and taking Clarence, the son,
returned to the west. Four years ago
he made another visit to Michigan and
kidnapped the daughter, Grace, then a
child of years.
Girl Badly Treated
The two went to ONO, 1t is Salui anu
were met by Miss S. Simmons, now in
the hospital as the result of an acci-
dent. Forncrook, the woman and the
two children have been living at Watts,
and several weeks ago the humane Of
ficers were notified that the little girl
was made to do the drudgery about the
house and to act in a SlaVish capacity
for the other inmates. A petition was
filed to have the child declared de-
pendent.
Humane officer Reynolds commun1-
Gated with Mrs. Forncrook, who ar
rived in Los Angeles ten days ago,
money for her trip being subscribed by
friends in Detroit. Learning of her
presence, Forncrook swore out an IN
sanity complaint and the woman was
arrested.
Instead of being placed in the county
hospital where it was feared her grief
and the surroundings of the institution
might cause her mind to give way,
Mrs. Forncrook was placed In a home
by the humane officers. When she ap-
peared before the lunacy commission
yesterday the only witness to confront
her was her son. He told the commits
sion his mother had threatened to Kill
three persons, but upon being ques-
toned closely it was discovered these
persons were those most interested, 1t
is alleged. in placing the woman in the
asylum-the son, Forncrook and Miss
Simmons. Mrs. Forncrook was dis
charged. She has filed a petition for
the custody of her daughter, hearing on
which will be had at the same time the
petition to have the child declared a
dependent is reached in the juvenile
court.

Ed Price was under bond and there fore wished to keep the peace. but still more he wanted a drink. A. B.

 Ed took time by the fore lock and A. B. by the arm and cramming his pride into his pocket said he had a thirst that water only enhanced. A. R has been thirsty too, more than once. and he had the price. Ed didn't even have job and A B. wanted to see how he worked. so he told Ed after the sev- eralth drink where one could be had under control, Eds honor reared up on its hind legs at the suggestion of jumping his bondsman. and he told A. B. that his suggestion was unbecoming q gentleman. no matter whether that gentleman was poor or opulent.
 A. B looked at the other and af- ter a moments deep thought plunged headlong into a dissertation on his luea or what Eu SenediOBy was, pauS- ing at each generation to explain whe- ther he referred to poodle. flee or other species. He grew enthusiastic over his eloquence, which Ed was lis- tening to with careful attention. while he covertly reached for an empty beer bottle, and when A.

 After hearing the story. the court pronounced the excitement as being worth five bucks to each man and sug- gested a tip to the Police Department for its trouble. saying that the same could be recorded as costs.
 The principals disagreed with the court and at last decided the matter by taking rooms in the Chateau de TaVlor

Railroad May Be Constructed Soonet

 Thnn Expected.
 Mobile, Sept. 23--(Spc ciaD-H ts learned from Mobile parties interested that as d result of legal action over tfie collection of a bonus of $25.0o0 by the Mobile Jackson and Kansas C'ty Railroad Company it is very probab. that the road will be constructed into New Orleans earlier than contemplat- ed by the officials
 According to information receive here the people had sometime ago agreed upon d bonus of $35,000 this being the sum they subscribed as d bonus for the building of. the road sew eral years ago. but at a meeting held a few days ago the people refused 10 pay the bonus on the ground that the road (now the New Orleans. Mobile and Chicago after the consolidation of the Kansas City with the Gulf and Chicago), had failed to carry out it's agreement to build a main llne Into Hattiesburg.
 It is understood that an agreement has been reached whereby the 5onus will be paid, however, and the railroad company will extend it's line from Hat tieshurg to New Orleans
 The people of Hattiesburg insist that the road shall be in operation within one year from the date of the payment of the bonus and 1t Is thought the road will be extended within that time.
