SUPREME COURT DECIDES CAUSE CELE {1
ORE IK FAVOR OF YOUNG MRS {'
y, ' B R TILLMAN jj
^ Columbia, February 15:?Mrs L
B R Tillman, Jr, by a decision !1
of the supreme court of South !(
Carolina, secures immediate I (
possession of her two little i 1
-^"daughters, who were deeded!,
under an act, now declared un-j,
constitutional, to Senator and j,
* 1 Mrs B R Tillman, the parents j
2 of the husband of the young f
Mrs Tillman.
The decision in the case was
handed down by the supreme (
court this morning, the court j,
having considered the matter i,
for two weeks. It cannot bei,
said that the court's order inj'
2 the habeas corpus proceedings!
brought by the mother of the j1
f children is wholly unexpected, (
for it was felt that .she would P
get her daughter* if there was "
any law that would warrant the I
action. On the other l and, the
statute appeared to give ti." band
the light to deed the child-5
ren to whoever he plea>?. h v?T.
By out the wife's consent.A cor.ten <
tion that seems to Lave ! ad :\s
L! weight was that the act was :nj&O
tended as a test::mentaly statute;
and it was never the p::rpose
ot the Oeneral As-ernbly
PP* to give a father the right t >,
deed away c.ui1 (ren in hi- :iiEh
time.

made today between those who
were the chief actors in this
tragedy.of real life. Around
two young children centred a
tegal battle that brought out in
the court room everything of
the bitter fight within the home;
that hatred of the two old families
represented on the one hand
by the proud young mother and
Dn the other hand by the son ot
Dne whose political career in
this State and in the United
States is known the world over.
Separated almost by fate, as it
were, the young father and
mother brought their troubles
Iiome at first, and tfien wnen
the father made that step which
the mother could no longer enlure?the
separation of her
from her children--sbe came to
the highest tribunal in this
Stale.
And here she ^ot what every
mother in South Carolina prayed
for her?the possession of
her own children. To brinyf
Ilk m up according to her ideals
had been the fond wish of this
mother, and when she saw that
this hope was, apparently,
a! out to be nipped in the bud
a law that she could not unit
e ;s t a n d, desperately, she
s<.n<;ht a court of equity. And
unit court listened to ?nch a
plea as lias nor r b "re area

; and affidavits touching the most j
i sacred tilings in life were placed ;
, in that open book and given to
I the world. It was only by this
means that the mother could
! tell the story of her yearning
for her daughters with whom
she wishes to be in all their
days. The court must have
j been touched by that appeal,
1 for, as some one said on that
day, "They are only human.'')
But it was not through senti;ment
that Mrs Tillman is given
her children: the court found
that the laws of equity" could
not sustain the positio n of a
father giving away his children j
without a mother's consent.
: Xo one would argue that the
children would not have met .
with the best of attention at:
; the hands of Senator and Mrs j
I> K Tillman and the contention
as to the point of the ones "tit
to care for them" could have
had no weight. Even those whoi
I prayed that the mother should i
!have the children admitted that
[Senator and Mrs Tillman were
i very fond ol the two littie girls
land would have been i^ood and
| kind to them had they been per-;
| in it ted to retain possession.)
| Hut mother should have with i
i her the children she bore'' was j
i
! an argument that met with noj
j refutation outside of the law;
!of S-.ath Carolina,
j Trie decision of the court,;
i which was unanimous, is said;
