 TOMOTHER'S ARMS
She Alleges Husband Wanted to Take Fourteen Months Old Infant to Sunday
 SchooI-TriaI Tuesday

Alleging that under pretense of car
 rying her 14-months-old baby to Sum day school, her husband, David John- son, took the child away from her, Mrs. Mary Johnson filed habeas cor pus proceedings yesterday in the chancery division of the circuit court to regain possession of the child.
 Following filing of the proceedings by Hugo l.. Black, Judge Hugh A. Locke issued an order requiring the de- fendant to surrender the baby to the sheriff, who was instructed to take Mary Louise to her mother.
 According to the allegations of the petition, the plaintiff and defendant were living together, and on April 3. at the request of her husband, she dressed the child to go to Sunday school with him. He did not return and 1t is alleged that he left the state, taking with. him the baby, notwith- standing it had not been weaned. However, a warrant was issued for him in the criminal court, the peti- ton alleges. and he returned to Ala bama.
 Since that time the pretty baby girl been with the parents of her father, according to allegations of the peti- tion, and David Johnson has stated he will not live with the complainant any more.

ID ASK REFERRING
 IN BLACKBURN CASE
Attorney for ChiId's Mother Says TechnicaIity Governed
 Adverse Decision

In an effort to have the supreme court reconsider its decision reversing and re- manding to the Jefferson county circuit court the case of Mary Blackburn, whose custody was given to her mother, Mrs. Monnie Moore, Hugo L. Black, her att torney, will file motion for a rehear- ing.
 Following lengthy and hard fought habeas corpus proceedings more than a year ago before Judge Horace c. Will kinson, formerly of the circuit court, the custody of the girl was given to her mother. Efforts of the childs grand father, J. w. Blackburn, of Fayette, to keep Mary were futile, the court giving the child to Mrs Moore.
 The reversal was Turely on technical grounds" said Mir. Black, "and did not concern itself with the question of the evidence in the case. I was in touch with Montgomery over long distance telephone and the reversal was based on the failure to add note of the testimony to the transcript as required by law in chancery cases. While I have not received an of ficial opinion in the case, and do not know whether there were any other grounds for the reversal I am going to file a motion for a rehearing. If the supreme court declines to grant this. then it will be necessary for Mrs. Moore to bring Mary back to Birmingham to try the case over again.
 When I was in California in Febru- ary I visited Mrs Moore and her daugh- ter. and the child was very happy. When I said anything about her coming back to Birmingham she cried and said she didn't want to come back. With her choice to remain with her mother we will be in better position at another trial than we were before.
 In the meantime, Mary is in California and Mrs. Moore is under 5000 bond for the return of the girl to Birmingham in the event the case should De reversed on anneaL"
