Hiltoif Boy Returns
To His Mother
York, Feb. 11.?Attorneys here received
a copy of an order by Judge
E. C. Dennis today giving the custody
of nine-year-old Richard H. Hilton,
Jr., to the child's mother, Mrs. Vlr
glnia Evans Hertford of Charleston.
The child was left with Mr. and
Mrs. H. M. Lee, of Fort, Mill by its
father, the late Richard H. Hilton,
former state commander of the American
Legion, after his divorce from
Mrs. Hilton.
Mrs. Hilton later married Lt. K. F.
Hertford, a member of the West Point
faculty, and brought court action to
gain custody of her son.
Judge Dennis at that time denied
Mrs. .Hertford's petition, but gave her
permission to renew her application
for the child's custody after two
years.
! At a hearing hore in December,
1935, Judge J. Henry Johnston ordered
the child taken from the Lees
and returned to the mother.
The current suit was brought by
the Lees to get the child back, claiming
that it had never known any other
home but theirs. Judge Dennis
heard arguments in the case In Darlington
last month, and pending his
decision, young Hilton was left in the
custody of Sheriff E. M. Miller, of
Darlington.

was represented by M. M. Johnson, of
Camden, and C. T. Graydon, of Columbia.

The oxtru time showed some of the
fundest polo ever played In the state.
Almost at the start the Ramblers
fouled, giving Floyd a free shot from
the 60-yard line. His shot was perfect,
reaching the goal well in the
air. Tupper, the Ramblers' No. 1,
stood In his stirrups between the goal
posts to make a miraculous midair
stop with his mullet head. After four
minutes of hectic polo the Jackets
scored to end the game, Pomeroy making

By virtue of this win the Jackets
