Writ challenge in guardianship case examined in federal court
In a Thursday federal court hearing the defense argued a writ of habeas corpus cannot determine guardianship. The case involves Musea Fowler Chase, declared insane in Ohio, with dispute over proper guardianship between Frederick S. Chase and Charles H. Duhme. The court noted guardianship questions under Ohio law and U S constitutional rights, with the Ohio guardianship apparently challenged. Lawyers for both sides presented arguments, the forenoon consumed by Judge Kittredge and Dan W Simms. A separate note reports nine year old George Crave admitting to arson at three Lyery barns in Logansport, an orphan from Champaign, Illinois.
