Demanding the custody of his IL
year-old daughter on a writ OF
habeas corpus. j. C. Cole. Seattle
school teacher, Tuesday charged
'profiteering" by the woman to
whom his child is farmed-out by the
Juvenile court.
In his petition, Cole denies that his
daughter, Alma, has ever committed
any offense and blames his wife for
asking the commitment order more
than year ago.
He accuses Mrs. ]. NJ. Hall, in
whose home Alma now lives, with re-
ceiving $50 a month for her care. SIS
more than she receives for any OF
three other children farmed out to
her by the King county court.
Cole claims that his daughter
grieves for him and that they are
subject to public ridicule and dis
grace because Mrs. Hall refuses TO
allow them TO converse together ex-
cept in her presence.
He also claims that the child, now
in the seventh grade, is failing in her
studies because of lack OF his instruc-
ton and offers to obtain n refined
home" for her at $50 month, which
he offers to pay out OF his own
pocket
