MOTHERS IN COURT FIGHT FOR 2 GIRLS Mother against mother. Thus are the forces lined up in a most battle in Judge Frater’s court. It is a terrible, cruel battle, yet mother love dominates. Mother love. Mrs. Elizabeth Minnie Viereck wants back her children, Josephine Eveline Spangler and Mary Alice Spangler, 14 and 12, She has not seen them for seven years. They were in Judge Frater’s chambers Monday, while she was testifying, but she was not per- mitted to see them. And she was fighting with every ounce of her blood for them. For it was mother love, too, which was fighting against her. Mother love. True, Mrs. A. F. Nichols of Seattle and Mrs. C. J. Sullivan of Vashon were only foster-mothers of the they had seen the babies grow to girl- hood, they watched over them by day and by night, they nursed them in illness, they planned for their future. For years th had been mothers to the girls, and so 90, are fighting with all of the determination and that can kindle in a mother's breast s. Viereck claims the girls were stolen during her absence from her mother’s farm at Doe Bay by an agent of the Washington Children’s home, sent by her husband, John Spangler, from whom she had separated. Spangler died in 1910, “I didn’t know I could do anything I didn’t know anything about courts,” Mrs. Viereck said on the stand. “I just longed and longed for my children. I didn’t know they were not legally adopted.” And so, through the long years, Mrs. Viereck,only asked for a little message from her children. She wrote again and again to the home. The identity of the foster- parents was withheld from her. “If you will send me any little message,” she wrote in one of her letters, “any little word of my girlies, you will earn the everlasting gratitude of a heart-broken and yearn- ing mother. Haven't you a picture of my girlies—haven't you a picture of the home with them in it? 1 would treas- ure such a picture more than I can tell you.” And again she wrote: “If ever my girlies come back to the home, you let me have them back?” But always came the answer that the girls had splendid homes and foster-parents who dearly loved them. So seven years passed. At last Mrs. Viereck learned the names of the foster-parents. She went to Attorney James R. Chambers, and habeas corpus proceedings were Started. Mrs. Viereck never consented to the adoption of the “girlies,” and therefore the proceedings were illegal, the mother contends. The mother abandoned the children, say the foster- parents, and her actual consent was not necessary And Mrs. Viereck was put through such a terrifving and grill- ing cross examination, attacking her character, her life in VOLUME n Murph'e as home |) NO. 58 grueling vicious, won't every detail, her honor, too, that when she got off the stand she fainted i Mother love—it is the most beautiful love in the world.
