returned to its natural parents who
would not be able toegive il the ad
vantages that are being given it by its
foster parents,
John Hummel asserts that be and
his wife are not IN INDECENT circuln
stances and while admitting that he
has not as much money as the Parrish
family he declares that the girl will

he is street car conductor earning
from 500 to S125 month and that
his wife does not take IN washing or
do anything but the work OF her
home, which is nicely furnished and
is located at 913 Gale street.
