Unwed War Bride Pleads for Baby in Landmark Case
Chicago July 26 Federal Judge Landis hears a complex custody contest over a year old baby girl known as the Matters baby.

A prior trial spurred by perjury charges and probate disputes adds to the drama as both women have cared for the child during decades of probate intrigue and immigration concerns.
