Parents Win Fight
For Custody Of Boy, ;

Justice Henry A. Schweinhaut of
District Court yesterday handed
down a memorandum opinion to re-
turn 3-year-sld Gilbert Shoemaker
to his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. George
w. Shoemaker, 1927 Central avenue
NE. A formal order in the case was
to be signed later.
The opinion was on a custody fight
for the child through a habeas
corpus proceeding brought by the
mother against Mrs. Joseph J. Kay,
1926 Ninth street NE, with whom
the little boy had been staying since
shortly after his birth. The last
court testimony in the case was in
September.
Mrs. Shoemaker testified at the
hearing she had left the boy with
the Kays because she was i'll, and
that she never intended to let Mrs
Kay keep Gilbert permanently.
Subsequently, Mrs. Shoemaker re-
covered her health and wanted Gill
bert back, but the Kays did not want
to give him up. Mrs Shoemaker
then brought the habeas corpus
action.
Mr.. and Mrs Kay testified they
had understood they we're to keep
Gilbert permanently. Justice
Schweinhaut said there had been nc
showing "of abandonment" of the
boy by the parents. He said it was
an unhappy circumstance the boy
should have remained in the home
of the Kays for approximately three
years because of the tendency to in
crease their affection for him.

approving two petitions for rezonine
in the area.

ering the Sligo Park Hills commu-
