Mother Loses Custody Fight Over Four-Year-Old Daughter
In Pittsburgh on May 2 Mrs Helen Truan of Timblin Jefferson county lost a bid for custody of her four year old daughter Martin Pearl Truan after a hearing before Judge Thomas M Marshall. The petition for habeas corpus against Mr and Mrs John Frisky of Pittsburgh followed the claim that the Friskys took the child when Mrs Truan was ill in May last year. Mrs Truan said the Friskys had no permanent custody intention and cited a May 11 1945 paper by Mrs Truan turning the child over to the Friskys for adoption.
