CONTEST OVER CHILD IN
 NORWICH PROBATE COURT

Probate Judge Nelson J. Ayling was called upon Thursday afternoon to decide who should have the custody of year old Leon George Biedelman, son of Leon Biedelman of Hartford. The little boy has been for several years past in the home of a family with whom he was placed from St. 4 gnes' home at Hartford, and from his appearance and actions in court he had no wish to go with his father.
 The hearing on the petition of Mir. Bic delman to get control of his child lasted until after 3 o'clock, when Judge Ayling decided that it would be for the best in terests of the boy to stay where he is. It was not disclosed where this is, for when Attorney Edward Meyer of Hartford counsel for the father, attempted to find out, attorneys for those who have the boy raised objection, which was sustained by the court Attorney Thomas E. Curry of Hartford and Attorney J. J. Desmond of this city appeared for those who now have the child, and opposed turning the boy over to the father on the ground that he is not a fit person to have charge of him, that he had abandoned the boy and had made no provision for his support for many years
 A number of witnesses were examined and the little boy himself was questioned by the attorney for the father. The child, who is bright looking and had every ap- pearance of being well cared for, was l frightened by being in court and cried i pitifully at times during the court ses- | sion.
 ] In the course of lis argument Attorney i Meyer enlarged upon the fact that the father had said he had been denied in- | formation about the child when he ap- piled at St. Agnes home. This brought a spirited rejoinder in defense of the home from a priest who was in court and asked permission to speak when the lawyers had concluded their arguments. Judge Ay'Ing | remarked that he was we'll acquainted
 with the home and it had been very help | ful in many cases.
 According to the testimony, the Biedel- man home had been broken up by the death of MT Biedelman's wife, two chil- dren and his mother, all within a shor; time. He had become dissipated and the
 year old boy had been put in St. Agnes home For the past few years, however he had been living a steady life and now | wanted to take charge of his boy ant
 bring him to live with the boys grand
 father, who has married again, and hi,
 aunt
 Attorney Meyer gave notice that h.
 should appeal the case to the superior
 court.
