Fi- fore the jury was called in Wednes- day morning Judge Rathbun stated that in view of the testimony intro- duced he felt justified .in asking for a directed verdict in favor. of . Mr. Thorpe and in approval of the West- erly probate court ~Judge Barrows said that while the case perhaps war- ranted a directed verdict,-he would not so order, but would let the mat- ter go to the jury and take a chance that the verdict would be in. compl ance with the facts and. the - law. There was some discussion between Attorney Rathbun and Attorney. Dunn as to the subject to be argued: to the jury, and Judge Barrows decided that the only question for the jury.was the question of approval of thc appoint- ment of Job Thorpe by -the probate court as guardian of the person and estate of Mary Dahood. The jurors were called and Mr. Dunn made the opening argument. He told of the comxng to New, York from Syria of widow, Hadla Dahood, with three &mall children and of her subsequently golng to Norwich, ¥here she peddled from house to house but could not earn sufficiept to properiy care for her children, and they were placed in the Rock Nook home. Mary Dahood remaining at the home for a period of five years, or until she was 12 years of age. ‘Then, .with the mother’s consent, Mary was placed in the Thorpe family, and all’ went well between mother and daughter, each visiting the other at intervals. and al ways in letter communication, until 1916, when. Mary seemed to have for- gotten her mother. Before that. year Mary visited her mother during vaca- tions, at her home in Brooklyn. Up to this time there was the very best of feeling, apparently. Mary was - to graduate from the Westerly High school and was then to return to-her. mother. according to agreement. After graduation came a decided change- The mother objected to Mary- becoming | a school teacher with assignment in Tomaquag Valiey, far removed from the Thorpe hom The mother want- ed the girl to go #ith her to Brool Iyn, and there was absolute refusal. and the girl's former iove for mother was changed. Still the mother wants her. dgughter. but ‘finds she-is in a peculiar position ‘under the laws of the state. This guardianship never had her approval and the only thing left for her was to seek assistance in the courts, and the - first necessary of the probate court. There was no pecial objection to Mr. Thorpe as an ndividual but there was objection (o any person being the guardian and su- percede the mother’s right to have the change of her minor daughter. ° Attorney Rathbun reviewed the tes- he asked the J . ited -plainly-and forciby the points that must guide the jury to a verdict favorable to-the \ie fendant, Thorpe. and for the best in- Mary Dahood. Judge Barrows s charge to jury called attention to the heme ture of the mother and daughter, in deep and undivided affection, but he aid all homes are not like. that, for here are homes where such -love does not exist. referred to the Toma- quag schoolhouse episode to show that Mre. Dahood probably prevaricated in her testimony when she said :she.did not lay hands on -Mary, contrary. to the testimony of two witnesses, and that the marks the girl bore were the result of a motherly hugging. but what the children of his family would term bsar huzging. In Rhode Isiand a minor over 44 has the right to apply .to the prebate court for a guardian and has the right to nominate a guardian. This Mary Dahood did. She pamed Jcb and the probate court ap- oved an dappointed. It is not a ‘the: |auestion of whether the mother shguld be guardian or not, as no non-resi- dent could be appointed guardiam. The' question for the jury is to apprave or disapprove the appointment of Mr. Thorge. Thers is discrepancy inthe testimony of Mrs. Dahood in many important points. She said she want- ed to pay for the support of Mary in the Rock Nook home and that Mrs. John C. Averiil told her there was no need for such payment.
