Judge Archbald Quashes Writ Over Child Custody
Judge Archbald dismissed the writ of habeas corpus sought by Mrs. Parfrey to gain possession of her 10 year old son now with the Home for the Friend. Evidence suggested Mrs. Parfrey was unfit to care for the child and the petition was quashed after counsel for both sides presented their case. Wedeman declined further pursuit, vindicating the home’s guardians and the board of associated charities.
