Gave the Child to Mother.

The supreme court of New Mexico
in Focks VS.. Munger heard habeas cor
pus proceedings instituted by mother
to recover her child from the foster
mother. 1t appeared that the child
was stolen from the mother when two
or three years old and placed in Gus
tody of the foster mother. who. how
ever was without knowledge of the
theft of the child or the whereaboutS
of the mother and that the foster
mother had given the child tender
care. The court held that on the evi-
dence that the mother was worthy
person who was able to care for the
child she was, entitled to the custody
since she had spent all the money she
could spare in ceaseless search. The
court held;
I'm this case the burden was upon
the appellee to show that the natural
mother, because of some vice or some
other lawful reason, was not the
proper person to have the care and
custody of her child. This she failed
to do"
