Peculiar Iowa case ends with mother in possession of baby
Keokuk Iowa August 28 A legal fight over the possession of an 11 month old infant who is seriously ill led to the arrest of the child on a charge of vagancy. Mrs Vina Kellar had herself named a special constable to guard the baby during the case. Secretary Elmer Park of the associated charities was jailed nearly an hour for contempt of court when he refused to return the child. A new sociological statute from the last legislature prompted courts to act. Park spent 45 minutes in jail and was later released on a writ of habeas corpus. The baby remains with the mother while Park remains in legal custody until further order. The trial found the mother not guilty under the new law, which was also declared unconstitutional.
