Perry Pinney Continues Legal Fight
for Child,

Application for custody OF Helen Beu-
lah Pinney. pending motion for a re-
hearing of the habeas corpus case in
the supreme court, will be heard this
afternoon by the court when the Ques-
ton OF temporary custody is prese- ted
by attorneys for Perry F. Pinney, the
father, and Theodore Sulxen, the child's
uncle. In a decision handed down sat
urday the court awarded custody OF
the child to the father after custody
had been denied by the Douglas county
probate and district courts.
Immediately after the opinion in the
case came from the supreme court,
Sulzen's attorneys announced that they
would make application for q rehearfng.
They contend that Pinney ordered his
wife and three months old babe to
leave his home near Fredonia in 1906
and that the father is not at this time
entitled to the custody of the child.
Mrs. Pinney died several years ago anu
on her death bed gave her daughter to
her sister. wife of wealthy Douglas
county farmer.
Pinney denies the allegation that he
drove his wife and baby from home and
declares they left his roof by mutual
consent
I'VE had agreed that when the child
was born We would not live together
