COURT FORCED
TO GIVE BABY
BACK TO FATHER

1.-The court cannot do justice in
this case." said Judge A. C. Finney
this morning in deciding an action
by William Taylor against Frank A.
and Stella Shindlebower.
Taylor had applied for and re-
ceived a writ of habeas corpus,
claiming that his child, three-year-
cid Robert w. Taylor, was held by
the Shindlebowers without his con-
sent. He had not relinquishcd his
right to custody of the child,
claimed Taylor, and evidence bore
him out in this statement.
Evidence also showed that Mrs
Taylor, at the time little Robert
Taylor was taken by the Shindle-
bower family, had made represent
ations to the Shindlebowers that
the childs father was dead.
In speaking to Mr.. and Mrs.
Shindlebower, Judge Finney said:
IF I could give you this child I
would not hesitate to do So"
Judge Finney explained that. in
his opinion. the father of the child
had not shown very fatherly af-
lection for the child during the
past two years. The Shindlebower
home, said the judge. is without a
doubt the best for the child.
Mr.. and Mrs. Shindlebower have
shown far greater love and af-
fection for the child than the par
ents, according to Judge Finney.
"The court is met here with n
situation which is not in its right
to CONTROL he said.
Taylor was granted custody of
his child by Judge Finney's decision.
and directed to pay to Mr.. and
Mrs. Shindlebower SIPS for the ex-
pense they have borne on account
of the child.
