MAN WHO DEFIED COURT
FINALLY DECIDES TO OBEY


ATLANTA.-Nothing but the time
ly interference of Attorney NJ Herr
berg prevented Irving Dunn, of this
city from serving long term in Jail
or the changing for contempt of
court when he refused to- obey an or
der to produce his eight-year old
adopted daughter. Attorney Herr
berg persuaded him that the better
part of discretion was to comply with
the mandate of the court instead of
stiffening his neck. The case came
UP on habeas corpus proceedings by
Dunn's wife to obtain possession of
the child. Dunn was accused of alb
Quoting her in Florida and bringing
her back to Atlanta and concealing
her. He claimed that his wife placed
the child in Catholic convent in Fer
nandina, Fla, in violation of the agree
ment that was made with the Georgia
Baptist Orphanage when they adopt
ed the child. He did not deny that
he brought the child back to Atlanta.
He frankly informed the Judge that
he would go to Jail before he would
produce her.
