Court Ends II Year
Conflict for Girl
Mother Refused Damages
as Climax to Long
Fight for Custody.

The Supreme Court has written
what likely is the final chapter in
the seventeen-year-old fight, only
recently ended, between Mrs. E. l..
Crum 1920 N. Pennsylvania ST., and
has former husband, T. Wilbur
Montgomery, for the love and GUS
tody of their daughter, EloiSe.
The court refused the mother
$4,000 damages against the father
and his family awarded her by the
VanderbUrgh Circuit Court.
Married in Posey County some
years ago, the couple moved to
Florida with the daughter. In 1911,
Montgomery deserted her, taking
the child with him, the mother
charged in the suit decided by the
Supreme Court.
Files Divorce Suit
He brought the child to his fam
lily home in Posey County and filed
suit for divorce. The mother won
custody of the child on a cross
complaint, however, with the pro-
vision that the child stay with the
grandparents two months a year.
In 1912 Montgomery took the
child while it was staying with the
grandparents and went to Florida.
In the custody of the father and
his sister, the child was trailed
through Florida, Cuba and Mexico
to the Isle of Pines by detectives for
the mother.
In 1918 Montgomery was in
dicted on a charge OF stealing the
child and brought back to In
diana, where he served two years in
the Reformatory, escaping when
allowed a parole to attend a fu-
neral. He later was pardoned.
Mother Gets Custody
In the meantime. the child had
been with the aunt, but in 1918,
after a habeas corpus suit and other
litigation the mother who had re-
married, obtained custody. Two
years later the father, in secret
letters persuaded the girl to leave
the mother and join him in Florida.
Mrs. Crum then sued and obtained
the damages, now refused her.
The daughter. now 81, is teaching
school at TT. Lauderdale, Fla. The
mother and the daughter recently
have been reunited.
Mrs. Crum just has returned from
a wonderful visit" with her
daughter Last winter the daughter
lived with her and attended In
dianapolis Teachers College, she
