attorney.
The Evermon girl is the child Of a
Bristol man and woman. When she
was about nine years old she was
given to Mrs. Lewis to care for. Early
this year Superintendent Cowlishaw OF
the charity department believed it
was for the best interests of the lit
tie girl to have her placed in the
custody of a white guardian and he
applied to the court of probate to
have her sent to the Children's Home.
Judge B. +. Gaifney granted the pe-
tition, which was heard on January
l6, and the child was given into the
custody of Rev DR.. klingberg. There
was no attempt at the time to reflect
on Mrs. Lewis character, but it was
thought that, because of the racial
question, the girl should be brought
up in different atmosphere Mrs.
Lewis did not protest against the de-
cision.
Later Mrs. Lewis presented bin
for 81, 400 for taking care of the child
but Superintendent Cowlishaw could
not find the birth recorded in this
city and declined to pay Recently
Mrs. Lewis consulted George w.
Cra wford, a colored lawyer IN New
Haven, and the application for a
writ of habeas corpus is the result.
If the application should be grant,
ed. Mrs. Lewis would become the law
full guardian of the Evermon girl and
could require her to work and turn
over her wages from the time tho
state would allow her to work until
she became Is years of age.
