WANT THEIR KIDDIES RETURNED TO THENThe matron of the state orphans’ home at Twin Bridges is ordered to produce the five minor children of William M. Green of Big Horn county in the district court of Judge Lyman H. Bennett in Virginia City on August 15, in accordance with a writ of habeas corpus issued in the supreme court on Wednesday by Chief Justice Lew L. Callaway, says today’s Helena Record.The children, all less than 12 years of age, were sent to the home on February 28, 1923, after Judge A. C. Spencer of Billings had issued the order on the petition of F. P. Collins, deputy state humane officer, who alleged the children were delinquent and being reared in idleness and crime.It was charged by the humane officer that the father, who resides on a farm near St Xavier, had received a sentence for third degree assault, that the father and mother had been dealing in moonshine liquor, and that the mother was under bonds for the unlawful possession of liquor.In his application for a writ of habeas corpus the father declared no evidence had been offered to show the children were delinquent or dependent upon the public for support, that the order committing the children was void for the reason that the petition of the humaae officer was insufficient and that no judgment was entered upon which the commitment might £ I issue.Attorney Frank D. Tannei - ,and County Attorney Louis E. I j Haven will leave Hardin next e | Tuesday evening for Virgiia i j City, the former to plead the i case for the Green children and a the latter to represent the e state.
