Jewish Foster-Father Would Rather Go To Jail Than Give Up Catholic Child Boston (U.R) A Jewish foster-father said today "I am prepared to go to jail" rather than give up a Catholic . child he and his wife have reared. Melvin B. Ellis of Brookline apparently had two weeks to think over his statement. On a motion by Atty. James Zisman, the - Massachusetts Supreme Court Wednesday continued - a hearing on the legality of an ar rest order until July 20. Supreme Court Justice Raymond S. Wil kins received Informal assur ance that the arrest order would not be carried out. Legal. Moves Likely However, new legal moves ap peared likely today. Atty. John F. McAuliff e, counsel for 4-year-old Hildy McCoy's real mother, said Wednesday night that he would "continue activity in this case until the order of the court has been complied with." McAuliffe and Atty. John Sul livan met with Norfolk Probate Judge James F.' Reynolds at his home Wednesday night for more than an hour. It was Reynolds who ordered the Ellises to give up Hildy or "go to jail." The . Ellises had been hiding somewhere in the state since the arrest order was issued last Fri day. But Wednesday night Ellis returned to his Brookline home and said "I may stay here." Not Willing Hero "I'm not a willing hero or martyr," Ellis said, "but I'll do anything that might help the child." "The best interests of the child should be the prime concern," Ellis said. "The mother has no feeling at all for the child." The blue-eyed child has been the pawn in a, legal battle for more than two years. The Ellises took custody of Hildy when she was 10 days old. of Hingham, the natural mother, won custody in a decision by Reynolds last fall. v The mother was an unwed nurse in training when Hildy was born. She claimed she didn't know the couple was Jewish when she signed Hildy over for adoption. Mrs. Doherty intends to give the child to a Catholic bureau for adoption by Catholic parents. She refused to comment on the case. A 1991 state law requires fos ter parents to be of the same religion as the child "whenever practical." During the long legal battle, the Ellises offered to send Hildy to a Catholic school, and raise her in that faith.
