SION IS BY LANDIS Bays the Judge. HOSPITAL 1S FLAYED Chicago, July 28.—Margaret Ryan, HL! aCnadian working girl, was today declared by Judge K. M. Landis of the United States district court, to be the mother of a year-old child, 0| claimed also by Mrs. Anna Dollie . Ledgerwood Matters, and was given the custody of the infant. Previous to the opening of the final day of the federal court, suits against Mrs. Matters, charging foist- ing a spurious’ heir on the probate court and perjury, were dismsised in the state courts. . “Where a question of maternity is involved, the real mother will not stand mute,” Judge Landis said, in announcing his decision. The decision followed a speech in | which the judge bitterly censured the Misericordia hospital at Ottawa, Ont,, the sisters in charge, and cer- tain attendants, It was in_ this hos- Eml that Mrs. Matters, widow of a anker, claimed to have given birth to the child. Certain hospital at- o | tendants at first supported her claim, then repudiated their testimony, and in later hearings asserted that Mar- R garet Ryan was its mother and that it was ‘taken from her and given to the Chicago widow. Regarding the Claim. , * Mrs. Matters presented the child to the probate court here as a posthu- mour heir to er husband’s estate, and in the long period of litigation which followed,, she was acquitted of a charge of conspiracy. Following this verdict, Margdret Ryan brought suit in_the federal court to obtain the child through writs of habeas corpus. Her testimony had all bee n sub- mitted when court convefied today and Judge Landis asked Mrs, Mat- ters if she wished to testify in spite of the fact that her attorneys an- nounced they would not present any evidence, Mrs. Matters asserted she was the mother of the child and told of her reasons for going to Canada. . The decision then was rendered, turning the baby over to Miss Ryan. The decision of Judge aLndis does jot-affect the ‘estate “of ‘Fred Mat- ers, late husband of Mrs. Matters, or Judge Henry Horner in the pro- bate court had previously held that Trene was not the child of Mrs, Mat- ters.
