LEGAL TANGLES Oft CUSTODY OF GIRL MULTIPLY Josephine Bertha Parker, Aged 13, Center Around Whom Rel atives Strive for 5 'Mastery. 1 1 Josephine Bertha, Baker, la-vear- old g-lrl who has figured in court con tcita at various timet tine 1911, is 4 a much-wanted , youngster Her "mother, Mr. Nora Alice Baker Kelly. la very desirous of bavins; the girl 'again In her own household. Mr .and Mrs, Franca A. Nelson, who hava considered the !rl their own daughter for the past five years,: and who braved a, court sentence to Jail for i contempt In their determination to keep her, are still in possession of; Josephine. Judge Jacob Kansler of the court 9 . dotnstlo relations for, Multnomah coun ty, has decided that the girl should go into the custody of her grandfather, , W. A. Crosby. LEGAL TANGLE GROWS 1 , . The Nelsons are contesting .the legal right of Judga Kansler to 'take lbs girl from them, writ ,i prohibition . restraining him from taking any aotlon Is the matter la pending In tthe circuit ".. oourL Judge Kansler refuse to discuss - tha subject until the circuit court acta. The Nelaoiia claim that the mother of the girl signed a relinquishment of all claim to the girl when they took her Into thalr household, and that It would be bitterly unjust to take - bar ' awajr trom them afur their years -of loving j1 oare for her. Mrs, Kelly claims 'that if she signed such: a -document ft was under misapprehension, and that she always expected to . reclaim her child when she was M a position to rsestabV llsh her home, which had been wrecked by a divorce. W A. Crosby, the grandfather who resides at 171 Kast Thirty-second street, claims that prejudiced description was , given of tne home ot hie daughter, when the matter Ot placing the girl In some other environment was under considera tion, and that while the hem Itself - -w was reported as being "unfit" there was no accusation that the mother her- self was unfit to have charge of her daughter. I ftTATEXESTS SgltlED f "The claim was made," says Crosby, "that Un VI1 ' kii.kni.il I with a brewery, was a bartender, and is now employed In a grocery store. The man was never connected with either of ' these industries. lie Is at .present con nected with a large transportation com- ' pany in Southern California." Crosby says the mother of the girl ,has no desire to secure control of her Simply to get her services for work, aa has been claimed. lie says the mother never did have any of her children work. Me also refutes the charge of the Nelsons that Judge Kansler has prac tically acted as his attorney and legal adalaor, and says that he has been legally advised by two of the ablest lawyers of Portland, "and the judge at no time made a shade 'Of a suggestion relative to (he case." t . s This readjustment not only represents reductions 'varying from $500 to $800, according to type, but also' accentuates the construc tive, timely economies whiclRANKLIN cars render in actual daily service.
