the Fulton county superior court.
has ordered that the question lie
decided by jury, before which
evidence and arguments will begin

Mrs. Daniel Pittman and Mrs. j.
c. Garner were patients in the
maternity ward of Grady hospital
and several months afterward Mrs.
j. c. Graner declared that when
the babies were brought to them
her baby had been exchanged for
that of Mrs. Pittman. The frtt.
mans denied there had been any
exchange. The baby given tho
Garners in the midst of. the contro-
vcrsy sickened and died, but the
Garners continued to claim the
baby given to the Pittmans. Tes-
timony as to family resemblances,
finger prints, and other forms of
Identification have been brought
forward, but the Gordian knot re-
