.CHlLD'S CUSTODY
 DELAYS DECISION
Judge Quinlan Withholds Ruling in Local Divorce
 Action

Superior Court Judge Edward J. Quinlan today declined to return a judgment in the divorce action brought by Olive Kane Morency of Waterbury against William Morency also of this city, and returned the case without decision.
 The unusual action followed ef- forts by the defendant to institute motion regarding custody of . minor child, 1t was indicated. The father did not enter the case within the period of time specified by statute, and the case was placed on the uncontested list and treated as an uncontested action during Its re- cent hearing.
 In his memorandum Judge Quin- ian points out that the defendant is persistent in his desire to contest the case at least upon the question of custody. He states he is returning the case without decision to afford the defendant an opportunity for such contest.
 Judge Quinlan states. however, that the child in question, a six- year-old son. is well taken care of by the mother, and that from the appearance of the plaintiff on the stand and not having had the op- portunity to hear the defendant, the mother gave the impression of being fit person to have the child.
 The couple married March 14, l936 in Brewster. N. Y., and the plaintiff claimed at the hearing that her husband became intolerably cruel during the first month of mar riage.
