New Tork, March 28. In the Queen's
county court. Long Island City, yester
day. Judge Humphrey gave Mrs. Ruth
Ettr'lck possession of her 15-raonths-old
baby girl. Mrs. Marie Ucherman, who
had cared for tbe baby since Its birth,
fought the case, and when the decision
was given against her aha laid the
child across her knee.
What are you doing?" cried tha
mother.
I am taking mv clothes off your
child," said Mrs. Ucherman. with her
lips fast on a bunch of pins which she
had been deftly extracting. "Not one
stitch shall you have." '
uertiy Mrs. ucherman wrlrrled the
crowing youngster out of Its slip, and
off came Its Dettlcoat with another
twist. Two bare, fat legs beat a tattoo
on the air, and the grave discipline of
the court was badly fractured. Mrs.
Ucnerman flipped the baby over, un
hooked a pin here, slipped a fold there,
and loosed the three ends
"Madame!" ejaculated the court, "will
you kindly step into the seclusion of
my chambers before vou exercise tha
last stitch or your rights?"
She did.
The baby was given to Mrs. Ucher
man to care for. The mother recently
married and told of the child to her
husband, who decided to give it his
name. airs, ucnerman, being unable to
show adoption papers, was forced to
give up tne uttie one.
