REAL AND ADOPTED MOTHERS IN LEGAL FIGHT FOR BABE
liartfori Probate Judge Asked to, Do- eide Which Shall Have
 Little Tot

Hartford. Dec. 2i. - A desperate conflict between the maternal affec- tions of the real mother and the adopted mother Of five year old Law renee Clifford Petit was aired in the probate court today before Judge Walter H. Clark who was called upon to act the role Of a Solomon in dccid- ing who shall be given the lad for which both pleaded so imploringiy. The case has many tangled and tragi. cal angles.
 Formally tho hearing was on an ap- plication by Mrs. Ernest c. Petit for the approval of an adoption agree mcnt e~tered into about five years ago but which was never filed with the court. Approval of this adoption agreement is objected to by Mrs. Edith Wills Cope. to whom Lawrence was born out of wedlock. Mir. and Mrs. Cope desired to adopt legally the little fellow who has been in the care of Mrs. Petit since he was five months old.
 Judge Clark characterized the case as presenting a ''Inost unusual situa- ton and the ramiiications. many of them sordid hccame deeply involved as tho hearing proceeded. Amid sobs and tears Mrs. Petit related how in February. Of 1919 she saw in q small advertisement notice of baby that it's mother wished to have adopt cd. She got in touch with the mother who was then Miss Edith Wills, and four weeks later. March 25. t919 an agreement was entered into by Mir. and Mrs. Petit and Miss Wills where by the child was to become legally the son Of the pettits.
