A probation officer states Mrs Rosenthal lived in New York with another man. Catherine Crowley of Dorchester petitions to become guardian. Psychologist Dr Victor Vance Anderson testifies Mrs Rosenthal appears mentally like a 12 year old. He notes many women with similar mental development raise children but declines to judge her fitness.
