o CHILD'S GUARDIAN | SIS FORELSTODY 5= - | Gloria Matus to Appear in| District Supreme Court This Afternoon. 1 Gloria Matus, who was orphaned mi August when her parents drowned in | the Potomac River, flared up anew to- w2y when Henry F. Meyer, her guardian. asked the District Supreme Court for a writ compelling John | Schaeffer, 1428 Irving street northeast. to give him the child. The writ was served on Mr Echaeffer at noon today. and he said he would have Gloria in the courtroom at 2:30 this afternoon. ! In applying for the writ Ar. Meyer. who lives at 1259 New Hampshire ave- nue. said he feared the Schaeflers might give Gloria to Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Sheffel of Milwaukee. who came to Washington in hope of adopting the girl. Denies Supposed Intent. Mr. Schaeffer denied any intent to let the Sheffels have Gloria. “I have no objection to Mr. Mever #c guardian of the child.” he said. “and 1 had planned to let him take her away from us Sunday.” He wanted to keep Gloria until Sun- day. he said. to see if any person might advance a sufficient reason for mnot Jetting her go to Mr. Mevyer. The writ of habeas served by United States M: C. Snyder. acting from Justice Jennings Bailey. was represented bv Attorneys John F. Lil'ard and H. Winship Wheatley The dispute for pessession of the child was thought to have hecen defi- | nitely scttled _yesterday when three | judz~s of the Orphans’ Court at Marl- boro, Md.._ruled that Mever should re- main as Gloria's guardian. Parents Drowned August 5. Meyer sued for the writ. he said. on advice of counsel. who told him he would have difficulty recovering the child if she were removed from the ction of Maryland and District corpus__ was al Edzar fons | Mever courts. Mr. and Mrs. Erich Matus, p3 of | Gloria, were drowned in the ceed tater | off Morgantown, Md. on August 5, when their fishing skiff overturned Before leaving on the fatal plea; trip they had asked Mrs. Schae! i care for Gloria until their return. The little girl has made her home with this femily since the tragedy. | Sometime prior to his death, however, / Mr. Matus had expressed the wish that Meyer be appointed guardian of Gloria if she were ever orphaned. The action ! of the Orphans’ Court was based primarily on this request. { A. C. WHITTON DIES SUDDENLY AT LODGE!
