PEEPING HUSBAND BOBS UP IN COURT In an Affidavit He Tells How He Hid Under the Bed and Played Detective While Wife Enter- tained Visitors, 7 WOMAN IS ON HAND _.. TO FIGHT FOR CHILD. It Is Now Said that the Place of Concealment Was Re- vealed by a Cough Which Mr. Mowbray Could Not Withhold. Mrs. Grace Townsend Mowbray, her sister, Mrs. Beatrice Danen; their mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Town- send, and four-year-old Girard Town- send Mowbray, appeared before Justice Gildersleeve in Part II. of the Supreme Court to-day, to fight the habeas cor- Pus proceedings to obtain the custody [of his child, brought by the husband, | Samuel H. Mowbray. Counsel for both sides were armed with voluminous afMdavits describing scenes and incidents in the domestic life of the Mowbrays, chief in interest of which was the one in which Mr. Mowbray occupied a place under the bed while his wife and her sisters en-. .tertained two visitors. Much to his discomfort Mr, Mow- bray's position was revealed by a cough. Benjamin Steinhardt, counsel for Mr. Mowbray, was not in court when the Proceedings came up and counsel for Mrs, Mowbray asked leave to submit a return to the habeas corpus writ. This was allowed, when a lawyer from Howe & Hummel's office notified the Court that Mr. Steinhardt was éngaged in another court. Then the Court sald that they could agree on a Cate to take testimony be- fore Mr. Neails, court stenographer, who would act as a special referee in the case, Counsel then agreed to fix a day to take testimony next week, Mra.
