Chapman Case
Again Appears
In Court

After being lost from the court
calendars for some weeks, in the dis
pute between Attorney Paul S. Chap
man, this city, and Kate Barbour
Chapman, Wilton. for the custody of
Stanley Chapman, the Ia year OLD
son, again appeared upon the short
calendar for a hearing today before
Judge Isaac Wolfe.
Under the decree now in force
the plaintiff would not again receive
the boy until July /, in whose Gus
tody the handsome young lad would
then remain for the summer months.
Since last summer, at which time
Kate Barbour Chapman had to be
called to court on contempt order
before she would surrender the boy,
g. persistent effort for a modification
of decree in refence to custody has
been sought by the father that he
might place the boy in a boarding
school
After bitterly contested hearing
at which both sides placed expert
witnesses on the stand to testify as
to the fitness of Mrs. Chapman to
care for the boy, Attorney Scofield of
Stamford, acting as referee, failed
to give a decision that was clear to
the court. He was ordered to review
the decision and report in 10 days.
This was late last December, but the
report was not forthcoming. The
case will now have to be heard over
again.
The latest motion is for temporary
custody that the boy may attend the
wedding of an aunt. who is a sister
of Attorney Chapman. Mrs. Chap
man, however, is expected to contest
the motion. when it is heard before
Judge Wolfe this afternoon, she be-
ing fearful that the boy might not be
returned without additional court ac-
ton. Attorney Charles S. Garfield
appears for Chapman, and Judge
Light of Norwalk for Mrs. Chapman.
