Mother Reopens Old Divorce
Case for Love of DAUGHTER
Insists She Was Innocent of Charges Made by First

Love for her daughter by former

legislative representative for Massa-
chusetts Of the Christian Science
Church, who lives in Brooklinc, that
state, to open up the records in a
divorce in which she was the uncon-
testing defendant six years ago. JUS
tice Pendleton, of the Supreme Court,
said yesterday he would appoint a ref
cree to consider the matter presented
by Mrs. Mattox through her attorneys,
Perkins & Butler.
Her former husband, who obtained
a divorce through Supreme Court JUS
tice Greenbaum, is a resident of this
city. He remarked in November, 1912.
The court, in passing judgment in the
divorce action on May 81. 1912, decreed
that the daughter, Danis Gerdes, should
for two years remain in the custody Of
her maternal grandmother, Mrs. Aimee
Osborne, and thereafter be turned
over to the care of her father The
father, however, turned the child over
to the care OF the mother and her sec
ond husband, and has only recently
demanded the custody of the child.
