living with her mother at 672 West
End Avenue, We're in the Supreme
Court yesterday, each seeking to OBJ
tain the custody OF their seven-year-
old daughter Eloise, at present in the
care of the Children's Society. The
child left no doubt about her prefer
cnce as to her guardian. Sticking out
her tongue at her father. she ran TO
the arms OF her mother, With tears
streaming down her face. the little girl
kissed Mrs. Frego and said: 81 want to
go home with you, mamma. dear"
Frego is p travelling salesman for
an indianapolis concern. While away
OIL a trip year ago. he said, his wife
obtained a divorce decree by default
in Nashville, Tenn. The decree gave
her custody OF she child.
Frego followed his wife and daugh-
teT to New Orleans. He said he did
not like the environment in which his
daughter was living. Since then he
has made three trips between Nashville
and New Orleans to sec his daughter.
On his last trip he discovered that
Mrs. Frogo had departed with the
child. He finally traced them to this
CITY.
Several days ago Frcgo saw his
daughter on the street and, il is al
legged. tried to take her Eloise re-
sisted and then hey father applied to
the Children's Society to take charge
Of her until the question of custody
could be determined Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Frego swore out a writ Of habeas
corpus.
Counsel for Mrs. Trero told Justice
Cohalan yesterday; The last play
mates this little girl had were wit
nesses in the Tex Richard case, and
you know what that means"
Vincent T. Pissaro, agent of the
Children's Society, Jumped to his feet
and shouted: THAT is absolutely false.
Those witnesses are kept upon another

Eloise was permitted to accompany
her mother to luncheon Yesterday
