Nature Adds to Judge's Difficulties in Parentage Battle
In Philadelphia on January 27 Judge Raymond MacNeille weighed conflicting evidence in a case over the parentage of a two year old claimed by Mrs. Russell E Steimlins and Mrs. Martha Silknitter. The hearing yielded no decisive proof as doctors noted identical mouth malformations in the two women and the child’s cousin and a sister’s child, complicating the determination of custody and legitimacy. The judge speculated on Providence guiding the outcome as testimony on vaccination and resemblance failed to clarify lineage. Depending on the ruling, abduction charges or legitimacy implications could follow.
