News OF the Courts
WINS LONG BATTLE
FOR SONS CUSTODY
FATHER SUCCESSFUL AFTER
FOUR LEGAL FIGHTS
ine-Year-old Boy Given to John c
Miller of Martinez and Former
Order of Adoption
Vacated

A legal battle for the custody of his
9-year-old son, the principal in four
different court proceedings, was won
by John G. Miller, an official of the
Lowell Lime and Cement company of
Martinez, Contra Costa county, in the
local superior courts yesterday, mark
ing the rapidly approaching finale of a
contest that began nearly four years
ago and involving the evasion of court
ORDERS alleged abduction and with
holding of facts almost akin to fradu-
lent representation.
The child is John Girard Miller, and
is now said to be with his mother, Mrs.
Nellie M. STANCE, at her home, 1853
Ashland avenue, Chicago. In August,
granted a decree from her husband,
John G. Miller, in the superior court
of Contra Costa county The child was
given into her custody and was placed
in the care of her father, A. b. Hig-
gins, a wealthy rancher living near
Clayton. Mrs. Miller went to Oakland,
where her beauty and wealth quickly
gave her a place as one of the leaders
Of society in that city.
Mother Hides Son
Immediately after the divorce pro-
ceedings were ended Miller began a
battle in the courts for the possession
OF MS Cnliu. 1ue uSdIlIlS "dS GOll-
tinued from time to time, finally being
set for November 8, last year, when
Mrs. Miller was ordered to bring the
boy into court. Instead of obeying the
order she secretly took the boy to Oak
land, then to San Francisco, and after
visiting other parts of the state brought
him to Los Angeles. When she failed
to appear in court Judge w. S. Wells
of Contra Costa modified his first order
and granted the custody of the child
to Miller.
The latter then began a search for his
former wife and the boy, extending
throughout California and finally end
ing in Los Angeles. Disappointment
met him on his arrival in this city when
he learned that the child had been
adopted, through legal proceedings in
the local superior court, by Mrs. NIL
ler's brother and sister-in-law, DR.. and
Mrs. M. V. Higgins, who, it is claimed,
established a temporary residence in
Los Angeles for that purpose.

SAYS SHE LIVED II
YEARS PENNTLESS
WIFE BRINGS VARIOUS COUNTS
AGAINST HUSBAND
Declares Spouse Made and Kept
Pledge Not to Give Partner
Dollar of His
Earnings

Eleven years ago, said Mr.. Catrine
Claffey in the divorce court yesterday,
her husband, Thomas Claffey, banged
a table with his fist to emphasize his
expressed determination never again to
give his wife a dollar of his earnings.
She added that he not only had lived
up to his determination, but had treat
ed her with extreme cruelty since, call
ing her an "old rip" and "reprobate, y
refusing to furnish medicine when she
was sick and compelling her sister to
leave his home at 8191a West Third
street. Furthermore, she said, he
threatened to cook her and put her in
a bottle.
Claffey is contesting his wife's suit.
He vigorously denied his wife's accu-
sations, calling the courts attention to
her superior physique in further refu-
tation of her charges.
A score of roomers living at Mrs.
Claffeys rooming house were witnesses
in the case, and many of them, accord
ing to Mrs. Claffey, were annoyed on
account of her husbands belligerent
disposition.
"The only trouble I had with the
roomers," retorted Claffey, was when
some of them made remarks rejecting
on the Irish. Then I spoke and acted
in defense OF my race.
The hearing will be resumed today.
Three DEGREES We're granted, as fol-
lows: Burton e. Mauders from

Miller had been given custody of tho
child was carefully concealed from
Judge Monroe during the hearing of the
adoption case, and no other course was
left to him except to grant the petition.
Since then Miller has been indefatig-
able in his efforts to have the order of
adoption vacated. He was successful
yesterday, Judge Monroe deciding, after
listening to the fathers story, to grant
his request.
Mrs. Miller, after receiving her final
decree of divorce, married II. A. STANCE,
a wealthy Chicagoan, and the child is
said to be living with the STANCES in
the Illinois metropolis. This necessi-
tates a fifth contest with a Chicago
court as the scene of the legal proceed
