Legal entanglements of couple who
continued to live together after secur-

outshine Solomon's famous method OF
deciding between two women who both
claimed to be the mother of the same
child. 1t will be up to the judge to de-
eide whether the man in case case Is
lagally the father of his own child.
Three years ago the marital troubles
of Francisco Perez and Andrea Perez
eliminated in the divorce court, where
an interlocutory decree was granted
them, but they patched up their differ
ences and continued to live together,
and a son Edward, now years old,
was born to them. A few weeks ago
trouble again developed and the hus-
band had the final decree entered and
took possession of the boy.
Claiming that the husband had no
rights to a child born after divorce
proceedings had been begun, the wife
