|Mrs. Cook Awarded
Custody Of Children

Declaring Mrs. Annette H. Cook,
5000 block of Chevy Chase parkway
NV, is an ideal mother and that
she showed what love is and what
love does," Justice Daniel w. O'Don-
oghue of District Court today award
ed her custody of her three daugh-
ters, II, IA and is years old, re-
spectively. The children now are
with their mother.
In so deciding, Justice O'Donoghue
dismissed habeas corpus proceed
ing through which the children's
paternal grandfather, DR.. George T.
Cook, Buffalo physician, sought
custody of the three.
Justice O'Donoghue gave the
father, Charles Cook, permission to
visit the childre, only in the home
of their mother.
Following previous court actions
regarding custody Of the children,
District Court in an earlier decision
had upheld New York court which
awarded custody to the grandfather.
In May, 1943. however, the Court of
Appeals remanded the case to Dis
trict Court for further testimony as
to what was best for the children,
The appellate court at that time
ruled that the duty OF the court was
to protect the children and do the
thing which appears to be best for
them without regard to anything
any other court has previously done. 9
The mother was represented by
Attorney p Bateman Ennis, while
the grandfather was represented by
Attorney Edgar j. Goodrich.
