Qualities as Guardian.

Early this morning Mr.. Wendell
went to the District of Columbia Pro-
bate Court and presented the will for
probate, and later Mrs. Wendell quail
fled as guardian of the child as .di-
rected under the will Mr.. Wendell
said he would at once consult an at
torney and see what course would be
necessary in order to obtain the legal
adoption of the child.
II think we are within our legal
rights in taking this step" he con-
tinued. Mrs. Bradley gave up a
settlement of 100000 in order to re-
tain the custody of the child" he
said.
She loved the child. and her last
words spoken were to myself and my
wife, in which she said she wanted
us to keep the child, and we viii do
so as long as we can fight the Swift
money. which we realize may mean a
hard fight"

Although neither Mr.. Swift nor any
member of his family have given an
inkling OF their plans. it is generally
expected among their friends that
both he and his mother contemplate
reopening the legal battle for the
child, which was awarded TO tho
mother by the court in the last legal
battle in lieu of the $4,000 for which
Mrs. Swift sued her husband.

years. down to 1911, the defcndan,

respecting the plaintiffs support and
Inheritance. furnishing him at all
times a suitable home at his house
and treating him with kindness and
consideration
II appears however that about 1911
the plaintiff left the defendants house
following an out-burst of passion and
vicious conduct on his part towards
the defendant. since which time u,

conduct learned counsel for the plain

he appreciated what the effect and ma
