HAMMOND SAYS
BOY WAS BEING

Fight in Supreme Court to
Compel Father to Return
Child to State Juris-

Lincoln, Oct. 24-(Special. 1.-The
case of Hammond against Ham
mond was argued in supreme court
Friday, Judge Sutton of Omaha ap-
pearing for Elizabeth Hammond,
the appellee, and M. 0. Cunningham
for William V. Hammond, appellant.
The case is one in which Mrs.
Hammond is trying to secure the
custody of 2-year-old child, claim
ed by her husband, an Omaha fire.
man. Mrs. Hammond secured d.
vorce and a sum for support from
her husband on the grounds of cru
city of both Hammond and his
mother. On account of ill-helath
following the birth of the child Mrs.
Hammond was unable to care for it,
and the child was taken in charge
by the mother of Mr.. Hammond.
Mother Was Elected.
After Mrs. Hammond became able
to get out she applied several times
for permission to see the child, but
was denied, it being alleged that
force was used to eject her from the
premises. The decree obtained

MAN ACCUSED OF
KILLING WIFE WITH
WHIP IS CONVICTED
Pleas Of Children Of John
Blazka Fail totMove
Jury.

Valentine, Neb., Oct. 24.-(Specia1
Telegram. John Blazka, the
farmer charged with beating his
wife to death last spring, was found
guilty of murder in the second de-
gree here Thursday night. The jury
deliberated four hours.
Attorney Slama for the defense
made an eloquent plea, lasting five
hours, in which he insisted on the
truthfulness of two small sons, who
testified that their mother had died
a week after the beating.
Boy Pleads for Sire.
Commissions, such as are pro-
duced by strychnine, were described
by Carl Blazka, 10 years old, which
led to an imprisoned plea by the
defense in support of theory Of
suicide by poisoning.
County Attorney E. D. Clarke, in
his final plea for the state, made use
of translations of letters in b.
hemian and of an alleged confession
of the slain woman, that had been
introduced by the defense, reading
for the first time letter from Blaz.
ka to an Omaha lawyer, dated in
February, telling of alleged inhdel-
ity, and asking divorce without di-
vision of property.
Clarke argued that this was prior
to the time that the two boys told
of infidelity of the woman, and
read her alleged confession which
recited many specific cases of in
fidelity.
Poison for Family.
Numerous men had supplied hel
with poison to kill her family, and
she had put strychnine in food and
coffee of several meals, said the al.
legged confession.
Clarke called attention to the
great improbability of confession
and advanced the theory that the
whipping was administered during
the time it was written, exhibiting
blood stains on the original manu-.
script written in Bohemian. He
declared the whole. story told by the
defendant and his two little sons, a
fabrication. Attorney Slama tool
exceptions.
Sentence will be announced later.

the mother-in-law, but with the pro-
vision that the mother should have
full right to visit the cid.
The brief of Mrs. Hammond
charges that while she was i'll in bed
the defendant was keeping company
with other women and that at the
time she was compelled to live with
his parents he beat her and finally
ordered her from the house and she
was compelled to go to the home OF
her own parents in Omaha. The
brief also alleges that the record dis
closes that Hammond at one time
took her crutches from her and beat
her.
Question of Loyalty.
The brief of Mr.. Hammond al
leges that there arose between him
self and his wife questions of loyal
ty to our government after she had
gone to live with her parents and
two brothers, in which it is charged
that the parents of Mrs. Hammond
were German speaking and in SYM
pathy with Germany. Mr.. Ham
mond objected to the boy living in
the family where the child might be
"Germanized," as German was
spoken almost exclusively and where
the child received no presents but
a German doll. He alleges that the
neighbors on both sides of the
home of Mrs. Hammond's parents
were negroes and that the surround
ings were not such as he thought
the child should have.
The argument this morning was
had on the plea that the child, which
has been taken to Chicago, should
be, brought back within the juris-
diction Of the court where the court
can modify the decree relative to
the custody of the child.

Heartbroken Mother
Gives Children Up
To a Better Home

Lincoln, Oct. 24.-(Special.)-One
OF the tragedies of life was enacted
Friday in the office of the board
OF control, when a mother gave up
all custody of her four children with
the promise never to see them again.
The wife of well-known bust
ness man somewhere in Nebraska"
wished to adopt little girl, having
only boy Of 8, and picked out a
flaxon-haired little girl of much
beauty. The authorities, however,
insisted that at least one of the
brothers of the girl, there being four
of the children, should be taken
along. The cour1e were touched by
the affection of the children for each
other, and decided to take all four.
The tragedy is that of the little
mother of the four. She was a wife
at 10, and was left helpless by her
husband. It. is not hard to glimpse
the heart-breaking nights she will
spend upon her pillow, wet with
tears for the soft arms about her
neck of the babies she will never see
nor hear of again.
