Outcast Clarence Brown’s custody clash crosses state lines
Six month old Clarence Brown, nicknamed by readers as a big blue eyed waif, has sparked a federal court style dispute as California officials seek habeas corpus to keep him from being sent to Montana. The boy’s story involves desertion, forged papers, and a guardian Mrs Emma W Lillie of San Francisco who seeks to return him to a foster home in California while Montana and California courts clash over his custody. A sheriff hunt for a Montana woman alleged to have forged documents culminated in Twin Bridges where the child was located and prepared for a return to his qualifying guardian in San Francisco.
