'flqmich Inter Today. - Interested in the welfare of Mary Dakood, a former charge in the Rock Nook Children’s Home in Norwich, Mrs. John C. Averill, Mrs. Oliver L. Johnson, directors, and Mrs._ Jennie L. Murray, matron of the institution, ‘were at a special session of the West- erly . probate court, Saturday, Judge Edward M. Burke, presiding. The oc- m was a hearing on the petition of Miss 00d asking for the ap- pointment of Job Thorp, as guardian of her person and estafe. The peti- tion was granted, and Mr. Thorp was ‘appoint: temporary guardian. The bond wak fixed at $200, with Thomas H. Peabody surety. Eugene B. Pen- ‘was appointed appraiser to comply with legal requirements, but there is no_personal propgrty to ap- praise. Judge Herbert W. Rathbun, is_counsel for Miss Dahood. No oné appeared in opposition to the petition, as there is to be a hear- ing in habeas corpus proSeedings in the superior court in Providence to- day (Monday). Mrs. Averill'told the court that the Rock Nook Children’s Home was sup- ported by private charity, was not in- cotporated, but_was an integral part of the United Workers, which is in- corporated, Mrs. Dahood came to Nor- wieh from Syria about thirteen years ago, leaving on account of the mas- sacres, supposing her husbard had ‘been killed: with her was the daugh- ter, Mary, then not five years of age, and a brother, Michael, about a year younger. Mrs. Dahood asked for aid from the home and the children were taken, the mother agreeing to help pay for their support, but this she never did. Mrs. Dahood went away to New York, and when she returned about three years later said ‘she had mar- rled, supposing that the husband ‘would care for the children. This he ‘would not do, and there was a separa- tion, according to the woman. She would have nothing to do with the children, and the directors of the home preferred to give the woman a wide berth. She rarely visited the children after that time. As the Rock Nook is not a perma- nent home for children, a fine homp was secured for the boy in the fam- 1ly of a Baltic physician, and he was given every opportunity for advance- ment. The boy liked his home and ‘was intensely interested in his school studies. When he became twelve years of age, the mother came and took him to Brooklyn where she want- ed him for work i3 a small shop she had opened. The directors did not want these bright children to go to their mother, as it was not considered to be to their advantage, and these ehildren were kept at the home for a Jonger time than is usual. Mary Dahood, the petitioner for the guardian, was at the home for over five years, and was rarely visited by the mother. Before she became 11, she was placed in the family of Job Thorp, in Westerly, where she was treated as the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thorp_and.given an excellent education. Mrs. Aver!ll said the di- rectors, and Miss Dabood, too, were fortunate In securing a home for her in the Thorp family, and that she ought not to be given into the custody of the mother at this late day. Miss Dabood told the court that she ‘was nearly eighteen vears of age: and that her present home life was more than satisfactory. that she was treated as a daughter, and did not want her mother, who practically abandoned her in early childhood, to take her away for purposes that she knew not of. She wanted the court to appoint Mr. Thorp her legal guardian. Miss Dahood was graduated from the Westerly High school in the class of 1916, and is popular with her schoolmates, and all her acquaintances. She was engaged #s a teacher at Tomaquag, and there on Labor Day, preparing for the school open- ing, when her almost forgotten mother appeared and insisted that she must not teach school, but go immediately with her, to New ork, as she had se- Jected a' career for her. The young lady refused to go, and the legal pro- ceedings were commenced. While Mr. and Mrs. Thorp have served as father and mother, it became necessary in “hehalf of Miss Dahood, that Mr. Thorp become her guardian, anj he was so appointed by Judge Burke. Friday evening Mr. and Mrs., Thorp were cited by Sheriff John R. Wilcox in habeas corpus proceedings in the superior court at Providence, Monday. Those trying to get lezal possession of Miss Dahood will endeavor to show that she is being held illegally bv Mr. and Mrs. Thorp. The Norwich la who were in Westerly Saturday will g0 to Providence today in the Inter- ests of Miss Dahood, and explain to the court reasops why she should re- main with the’ Thorp family, rather than be compelled against her own ‘wishes to be given into the custody of a mother who abandoned her over 12 years ago. > Major Arthur N.
