This unlooked for turn of af fairs came as a complete surprise to Mr. DeSelm apparently, and made it possible to have the court consider the divorce at that time Instead of necessitating a 10-day or more delay. No new testimony was to be introduced by Mrs. De Selm, so upon agreement between th counsels for Mr. and Sirs. De Selm the court allowed the com plaint and reply made at the bearing last December to stand as complaint and reply In the new hearing, and immediately granted Mrs. DeSelm a divorce and cus tody of the minor child, the hab eas corpus case oetng aismissea for lack ot sufficient evidence of any wrong doing on the part of Xlr. and Mrs. Reason Brunk and Ethel M. DeSelm. Mr. DeSelm was granted permission to visit the child at any reasonable times. Mrs. DeSelm's attorney ex plained in full to the court that the only reason Mrs. De Selm had persisted in refusing Mr. De selm to visit their child was because or her firm belief of his intention to take the child if the opportunity offered and leave the state with him. rendering It impossible for her ever again to obtain posses sion ot her baby and that bad she had any definite assurance that the child, who la not quite 3 years old, would have been left Intsafety. she would have had no objection to the father's coming frequently to see blm.
