LEGAL BATTLE FOR
CUSTODY OF CHILD
Case Involving Interesting
Points of Law Heard by
Judge Bryan.

Caldwell, April 29.-Involving al it
does the question of a parents right to
the possession OF his or her child COM
mitted to the Children's Home Finding
society through dissipation or poverty
after the condition of dissipation or
poverty has been overcome, the case of
Eva Lovejoy versus Henry and Lila
Rogers, an action inolving an applica-
ton for writ Of habeas corpus which
came before Judge Bryan in the dis
trict court yesterday, is being watched
with the keenest of interest by local
members of the legal fraternity.
The case is action in which the
mother seeks to recover her little
daughter from those to whom adoption
papers had been granted through the
assistance of the state Children's Home
Finding society. According to the allie
cations of the plaintiff. the child had
been committed to the care of the So
ciety through an order of the Bannock
county court in 1915 as result of lack
of ability to provide for it through its
fathers dissipation, but that the order
of the court had Leen suspended and
the child had been with it's mother un-
til about March / of this year at which
time the child was visiting in this city
when the suspension of the court OF
Bannoclt county was revoked, following
which the adoption papers were taken
out.
Previous to the revocation OF the or
der of suspension Of the commitment
and the issuance of the adoption papers
the mother had secured a divorce in the
district court for Ada county from heI
husband, and the contention of her at
torney, S. L. Tiptcn, of Boise, is that
under the changed condition, it would
be not only extreme cruelty to the
mother to be deprived of her child, but
that it would also be a most dangerous
precedent to set. He emphasizes that
under such ruling a father who had
had children taken FROM him because
of either dissipation or poverty, could
not regain them though he had re-
formed or there had been change in
his condition OF poverty to prosperity
The case is under the consideration
of the court and a decision will prob
ably not be handed down by Judge
Bryan for several days.
