FATHER PLANNING
TO EXHUME BABY
Child Was Buried in Potter's
Field While Parents Were
WrangIing.

Papers are being prepared today in
the suit to be prosecuted by Alan
Krichman, of 725 Springfield avenue
for the possession of his child's body.
which was buried in the potter's field
here Saturday by the Board OF
Health.
The action by the board in burying
the child was taken after the parents
opposed each other in their respective
plans for the babys burial. The father
wanted the child inferred in q He
brew cemetery, while the mother
wished the baby to have Christian
burial.
The suit to recover the child's body
will be brought in the Court of
Chancery here by Julius Feldman,
representing the father. The latter
maintains that his wife was convert
ed to the Jewish religion and Jewish
rites were observed after the child's
birth.
The court will be asked to grant
Krichman an order on the Board of
Health TO have the baby's body dis
inferred and turned over to him for
burial. 1t has not been stated whether
or not the mother will oppose the mo-
ton for such an order. The petition
of the father, if granted, will en-
power him to bury the child as he
chooses, according to the opinion OF
his counsel.
