AIbritton Seeks Liberty.
Wife Fails to Get Son
As Hitch Develops

Zelner Albritton, young sculptor
and designer, who last week chose
to remain in jail rather than turn
over his Az -year-old son to his
estranged wife, moved to obtain
his freedom today.
He offered to surrender the child
to its mother, Mrs. Norella Albrit-
ton, 1893 Hudson street, Arlington,
Va, on certain conditions which at
torneys for the estranged couple
did not reveal.
1t was reported he was seeking
reconciliation.
Mrs. Albritton obtained custody of
the child in District Court suit
after they had separated more than
a year ago, but Mr.. Albritton, who
was living in Marlboro and working
here, took his son to Maryland and
refused to give him up.
In default of $500 bond on a writ
obtained by Mrs. Albritton forbid
ding her estranged husband from
leaving the District, he was locked
In jail on October and last Wed
nesday Justice Oscar Luhring ruled
he should remain in Jail until he
obeyed the court order and delivers
their son to its mother.
Mrs. Albritton went to the Office
OF her attorney, William A. Gal
lagher, this morning in the expecta-
ton that her son would be delivered
to her there at II am. Apparently
a misunderstanding had developed
however, and the reunion was de-
layed.
She conferred with William B
OConnell, acting for Mr.. Gallagher
in the latter's absence, and then MIR
OConnell talked with Charles H.
Quimby, attorney for Mr.. Albritton.
Mr.. Quimby planned to see Mr.. AL
britton at the District Jail this
afternoon and, If an agreement
could be reached, deliver the child
to Mrs. Albritton later today or to-
morrow.
