county court is not review on that
case on writ of error or anything of
that sort. The county court is a court
of concurrent jurisdiction in depend
ency cases. and the question to be de-
termined there is, whether or not the
girl is dependent. There is not a
clash between the two courts"
Claims Petition False.
"The petition for dependency filed
in county court was, and is, absolutely
false" announced Attorney Weld
The statement that the girl was
abandoned by its mother when three
weeks old is not true, and the attor-
ney who filed the petition and the
aunt who signed it know it. The
statement that the mother is not fit
and proper person to have the care
and custody of the girl is false. The
statement that the child was left with
the petitioner when three weeks old
and that she has been its sole support
and has had its care and custody
alone, is manifestly not so. The petit
toner at the time the baby was left
with the grandmother was only u
years old herself and not old enough
to be her own guardian. The mother
has had the child for several months
at a time and has contributed to its
support Under this petition it is
sought TO have a proper person act
as guardian for the girl and that prop
er person is probably none other than
this aunt. j think this court carries
jurisdiction in this case, at least
throughout the term, and that lower
court has no business interfering with
the rulings of the higher court, when
the subject matter is the same and
has already been passed on. | ask
the court 10 reaffirm its former deci-
sion in the habeas corpus and direct
the sheriff to turn the girl over TO her
mother"
Judge Olmsted then did direct the
girl TO be turned over to the mother,
after Attorney Kenworthy had insist
ed that the issues be fully set up, in
order that the sheriff's position might
be fully explained to the county court
and protect him in case contempt pro-
ceedings were started against the Off
ciaI for allowing the child to be
taken out of his custody.

tween two fires said the attorney.
HE desires to do his full duty but is
liable to contempt charges if he fails
to bring this child in circuit court in
obedience to the habeas corpus writ
and is liable to be in contempt of
court if he does"
When Judge Olmsted stated that the
matter was merely a clash between
the jurisdiction of two courts, Attor-
ney Kenworthy differed with him.

case was given all the relief this court
could grant" he said. Her child was

Mckinley Bennett Wedding
First After-Easter Society
Affair in Washington.
(By Charles Brooks Smith.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., April ia
The high noon nuptial service which
today united in marriage Miss Agra
Bennett, daughter of Hon. and Mrs.
Louis Bennett, Of Weston, and Mr..
Johnson Camden Mckinley, OF Wheel
ing, was the first. and, to West vir-
ginians, the most interesting, event
Of Easter society events in Washing
ton. The ceremony was celebrated
at st. Johns church in Lafayette
Square, one OF the oldest churches in
the city and often called The Church
of State. There was particular fit
ness in this, as an ancestor OF MISS
Bennett was the first White House
bride.
Seldom has st. Johns church wit
messed a lovelier wedding. An hour
before noon the doors of the church
were thrown open and during the In
tervening time before the arrival OF
the bridal party there was an eager
futter of expectancy among the as
sembled guests, as Miss Bennett during
her stay in Washington, has made
many warm and interested friends.
The church was particularly beautiful
for the event. The scheme of decora-
ton was in yellow and pink, with the
execution of the altar which was
transformed into wonderful floral
background of white blossoms.
Assisting in seating the guests
were the ten ushers who were Messrs.
George Baird, Mertz Franzheim. Lee
PAUL and DR.. Hannin. of Wheeling;
G.. Talbot FIiteshew, of Parkersburg;
Douglas Mccormick Of Columbus, o.;
Lieut.. CIaggett, Ralph snowden Hill
and John S. Clair Brooks. of Washing
ton and Louis Bennett, Jr., OF weston,
brother OF the bride.
During the half hour preceding the
coming of the bridal party a beautt-
full musical program, comprising fav-
orite selections OF the bride, was given
by Mr.. Henry H. Freeman. organist
and choirmaster Of st. Johns. assisted
by MIR. Charles Trowbridge Tittmann.
