trict Court order.

planned that Mrs. Steele had re-
fused to return their daughter,

tact him by telephone, saying she
would like to turn over the child
and that she would meet him in

her out with them to a dance and
that she didn't get home until 81
l.m.," Mrs. Steele testified. "She
said she then had to do dishes for
Is people that came home with
them and had snacks."
The judge reminded Mrs. Steele
Of the effect Of the court wrangle
on her daughter.
"And I want you to see to it
that the child is back with her
father today" Judge Schweinhaut
admonished her. I want you to
ten her that, If she runs away
this weekend, she will get you in
trouble"
But I've told her that before"
Mrs. Steele interposed.
well, you tell her one more
time" the Judge sretorted. He
then referred to another Judge ac-
tion on the contempt motion and
on q motion to rehear the entire |
custody question.
In the course of the later pro-
ceedings, Attorney Laughlin was
granted leave to withdraw from
the case. Attorney Stanley Fisher
entered his appearance as Mrs.
