CURTIS CHILDREN
ARE PROVIDED FOR
Sent to Crittenden Home,
Mother and Grandmother
Being Deemed Unfit.
Special 10 Tho Tribune.

Special TO The Tribune.
OGDEN, Jan. 3l.-Considering the
highly sensational evidence submitted
during the two days trial Of the case,
Judge Y. J. Harris today selected the
only course open 10 him in reaching
decision in tho Curtis-Nicholson con-
troversy for possession of two minor
children by taking Ruella V. Curtis and
Albert B. Curtis away from Mrs. Ruel'
Ia p Curtis and also Mrs. Sarah Mich
olson. 1t was the termination of the
habeas corpus proceedings instituted by
Mrs. Nicholson, mother OF the children,
to take them away from their supposed
grandmother, Mrs. Curtis.
Pending the making or other ar
rangements, Judge Harris ordered that
the children be cared for at the Ont
tenden home, to which institution they
were taken by Bailif Charles Ellsworth,
following the decision. Mrs. Curtis
made q decided demonstration In the
courtroom when she learned that the
children were TO be taken from her and
obtained permission from the superln-
tendent Of the home TO remain with
them there for few days. In view
OF her several attempts to escape from
the city with the little boy and girl,
strict watch will be maintained to pre-
vent her kidnapping the children.
Because Of the fact that both chill
dren were born TO Mrs. Nicholson out
of wedlock and that her present sus-
band. Ed Nicholson, is not their IA
ther, Judge Harris is practically con
vinced that their mother is not the
proper person to have their custody.
That Mrs. Curtis is even less fitted to
have them in her care, the judge con-
cluded, was demonstrated by her dur
ing her testimony today. Much Of the
evidence given by the elder woman is
unprintable.
Among other things, she declared
that she had married Nicholson, the
present husband of her daughter, IN
1904. She was living with him in
1908 when he and the daughter re-
turned homo from town one afternoon
with the announcement that they had
been married, Nicholson producing the
marriage certificate to prove the as
sertion. Mrs. Curtis testified that the
three lived together in the same house
for some time afterward, Mrs. Curtis
not securing a decree OF divorce from
Nicholson until 1910. According to her
testimony, Nicholson maintained rela-
tions with mother and daughter be-
tween 1908 and 1910.
In announcing his decision, Judge
Harris said he might consider giving
the children into the custody OF the
NichoIsons when they have established
n permanent home, but until such time
he is convinced that they should re-
main in the custody OF some person
other than Mrs. Curtis. While both
the boy and girl plainly demonstrated
that thev desired TO remain with Mrs,
Curtis. they are very young and the
court believes that their affection for
the older woman would not be difficult
to overcome. Both of the children, and
unusually bright and. in the opinion of
the court. should be in the care of some
person who will see that they receive
the proper education.
