TO RESTRAIN
 JUVENILE COURT IS
 DISMISSED BY CAURT

A decree was issued yesterday by Judge Dan A. Greene dismissing the petition for a writ of prohibition to restrain the juvenile court from pro- ceeding further in regard to the de- termination of the custody of his two minor children, which was filed sev- eral days ago by John A. Pruitt. In addition to dismissing the peN- ton, the decree allowed Mrs. Ruth Pruitt, the mother of Mary Frances and John A. Pruitt. Jr., to intervene in the case as a party respondent. She had formerly filed a petition in which 1t was alleged that the mat ters sought to be opened in the peti- tion for writ of prohibition had all ready been decided in a previous de- gree.
 Following divorce litigation be- tween Mir and Mrs. Pruitt several months ago, which involved the cus- tody of the children, a petition for q writ of prohibition was filed by the former in which he attacked the con- stitutionality of the legislative act giving the juvenile court Jurisdiction in cases involving the custody Of minor children where their parents were separated.
