The Washington times., 1937-09-03

back, following his melodramatic
seizure on the ancient isle OF Sark,
in the English Channel, there is
no more excitement to be ex-
pected, the co-author of Washing
ton Merry-Go-Round declared.
INSIDE STORY TOLD
With the Parsons return from
abroad, a bit of the inside story OF
the secret trip to obtain custody
of the child became public for the
first time. 1t is this:
George Abel, 'ryler's father and
a former washington newspaper
columnist, went to Reno in June
Of this year to discuss a modifica-
ton of the original divorce degree,
awarded in 1884. Mrs. Pearson,
Tyler's mother and AbelPs former
wife, met him there. Their
lawyers and the two principals
went into huddle. Out OF 1t
came an agreement by which
Abel was to be given custody OF
the child for six weeks each sum-
mer, and Mrs. Pearson was to
have him for the remaining 10h
months of the year.
In the original decree it was
stipulated that each was to have
the child six months each year,
but as it worked out little Tyler
was with his mother most of the
time-by mutual consent.
DECREE MODIFIED
In the agreement reached in
June, and which was entered in
the court records at Reno as a
modification of the original de-
cree, it was further stipulated
that neither Mrs. Pearson nor
Abel should take the child out
of the country without the others
consent.
SO Tyler was turned over to
his father about the first of
July, and they started on vaca.
ton. Early July found them in
New Hampshire.
About August l Mrs. Pearson
phoned Abell's lawyer to ask
where she could send a birthday
gift to her son. His birthday is
August 9.
She was unable-aS she re-
ported to her husband-to obtain
q categorical answer. In short,
she could not learn where the
child was.
Mr.. Pearson started a train of
inquiry. He drew on his magma
ton. He consulted his newspaper
experience. He also consulted
counsel. He did some old-fashioned
digging Of the sort that produces
items for the paper. They learned
that Abel had sailed from Mon
treal with his son on August l.
And in August, Mr.. and Mrs.
Pearson started for England.
KNEW HE WAS THERE
Their recovery of Tyler on the
island of Sark, backed by a court
order and aid from Scotland Yard,
hit the first-page headlines. 1t
wasn't guess work that led the
Pearsons to Sark. They knew the
boy was there.
But it's all over now, Mr.. Pear
son said today. That is, so far as
the Pearsons are concerned. Tyler
sleeps peacefully and late these
summer mornings in the rambling
old Georgetown house at 1920
Dumbarton Ave. In a few weeks,
being five, he will probably enter
kindergarten.
It is the Pearsons' present plan
to stay right here and keep Tyler
with them. At least Tyler will be
here until next June.
Or until the Reno court or some
other court says something else,
or Abel shows up on the Wash
ington scene.
That would be something else.
