It was one of fhose scenes so common in the courts of the land, when a tender- hearted magistrate does not see his way | clear to extend the assistance he would | like to give, and when even if he did so | his act would entail sorrow on others, for there are always two sides to a case like | this. Mrs. Holstrom had sued out a writ of habeas corpus for the recovery of a sweet | baby who is now something more than 4 years old. | Readers of Tie CALL will remember the | account that appeared in these columns ed ‘h!“ several duys ago concerning Mrs. Hol- | back. strom’s troubles. Sne obtained possession | of a child by paying $10 to the mother, or 1 to the attending coctor, and sup- i slie wouldgnever,be disturbed inthat session. The written contract tothat effect was witnessed by Dr. Murion | Thrasber and others, but’ Mrs. Holstrom | negiected to take out formal letters o she 1s mourning the loss of the little one | she has cherished so long. Frank J. Kane, an officer of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Cnildren was cited to appear and show canse wh he did not deliver the child, Eva R.V | Holstrom, to her foster mother. Mrs. Holstrom in presenting her peti- | | tion for the writalleged: *“That said child, Wwho is now a litile over 4 years of age, was 3 our petitioner in said City and County when it was only six days old bythe mother, who was an unmarried woman, and your petitioner for more than four ~ years last past nur- tured, maintained and cared for id child; and said child has never know other mother than your petitioner It $9000, is | thaton the 1st day of February, 1897, Frank | of the child, Eva.

Kane, under the pretense that your peti and prover person to id child, foreibly | without cause seized and carried away said | | child from the custody of your petitioner | to the great detriment and injury of said child.” | " In Mr. Kane's reply he said he was not | able to comply with™ any order of Judge | Troutt to produce the body of the child in court for the reason that he gave the lit- tle one to its mother on the 1st of Febra- | the corner of Seventeenth and | Howard streets, before Mrs. Holstrom be- gan her habeas corpus proceedings. | |~ Atiorney Daley wanted to have the | writ dismissea at once, but the court | allowed Attorney Leonard S. Clark to oss-examine Mr. Kane. The officer tes- tified that he gave the little girl to her mother at the corner of Seventeenth Howard streets last Monday. He doesn't know the mother’s present name, doesn’t where she lives, does't know where | now, and_ could not find her. bild’s mother is now married and wants her child. *'So you put this child into the custody ndulent and false oner was not a fit ve the custody of | The lady’s friends gathered never see her again,” | dianship or adoption and that is why | and without right and | ustody of su scared to death. She clung to me and screamed with frignt tili she was black in the face. On my knees 1 begzed permis- sion to kiss my’ baby good-by—my little baby that I had taken to my heart when 1ts OWn motber cast it off—and he refused me even that. He yelled for me to stand back, ‘For you aré not ils mother,’ he said. ButI'am its motner in love, and the little one knows it, forshe clung to me with both hands, and he had to pound ber little arms wich his great fists before he conld make her let go. Oh, it was dreadful, but he showed me his cfficer’s star, and threatened to call the patrol wagon and ‘bundle us all to the juz,’ as be expressed it, if we didn’t quit talking to him. ‘It was only about 8 o’clock in the morning, and my little one was not dressed to go out, but this man wouldn’t even let me put on her cloak or her hood. He seemed awiully anxious to get hold of the child. My fatier was there and I asked him to go with them, for Kane brought the baby's mother to the door. When the little ohe saw my father it was comforted somewhat, but it he!d out its hands to me ani wanted me to take it. ‘I was so dazed an:l so intimidated that I didn’t know what todo. 1oughtto have tracked them to _see what they did with my darling, but I let them get awa; nGW we may never meet again.’’ and attempted to comfort her, but she ed inconsolable, for she believes the wiil be spirited out of San Francisco | and beyond the jurisdiction of the Probate | Court.” Mrs. Holstrom has the appear- | ance of being a good. respectable woman and the testimony of her friends is that' | she leads a blameless life. William A. Lightioot, a fine-looking old gentleman, whose eyes were tear-stained, corroborated the lady's statement. *‘This is my daughter,” he said, placing his hand affectionately on Mrs. Holstrom’s ‘shoulder. She lives with me and my | wife at 4761 Eighth street, where Kane | found the baoy. She is a good woman, | industrious, gentle and everything that a | mother shouid be. She is perfectly de- voted to her little baby, and you ought to | see the big supply of baby clothes that she as made ‘with her own hands for our va. We all love the little thing as much s if she were our very own, as in fact she seems to be, and I say it is an outrage for | Kane to drag her from her home in that | bratal manner.” “Yes, aiter all these years,” said Mrs. Holstrom, “it seems sirange that tne should so suddenly want her | mother she might see the baby whenever she wanted to, b wanted to 'see it or hear of it again.” Attorney Clark is not satisfied with Judge Troutt's decision and will take out another petition for habeas corpus, prob- ably befors Judee Carroll Cook. He thinks 1at as Officer Kane took the chila from vroduce it in court. He will cite some de- cisions of the higher courts to sustain this position. If any officer could shirk re- sponsibility in that way, Mr. Clark says, the purpuse of the writ of habeas corpus could be defeated by any person who was venturesome enough to commit acts like that of Officer Kane. Mrs. Holstrom’s petition for guardian- ship option will, be called for hear- ing Judge Coffey’s court ou the 9ib inst. In addition 'to other matters she will ask the court to entera judgment of abandonment as against the mother of the child. In some cases it has been held that a year's neglect has been sufficient to esiablish legal abandonment. Mrs. Holstrom exhibited a photograph The picture was taken about a year ago, and shows as pretty a baby as one would wish to see. There is no wonder that two mothers desire the h a child. |ROBBED OF HIS PURSE. Dr. Kirke Stanley, & Guest at the Bald- win Hotel, Has a Young Woman Arrested.
