Judge Halts Custody Trial in Joan Langan Case
In Washington a federal court hearing on the custody dispute involving Joan Langan was abruptly halted after Joan Manners testified that John Langan is not her father. The judge postponed further action as Manners offered to name the real father privately. Langan had earlier won custody in Maryland and produced the child in court amid a habeas corpus writ. A Boston attorney filed for a broader investigation and a restraining order to keep the child within court jurisdiction pending resolution.
