Removed From Custody . of
Grandfather, Senator Till
man, by a Decision of
Supreme Court.
Columbia, S. Cm Fob. 15.—Tho state
eupreme court today handed down a
decision In-the Tillman habeas corpus
esse, taking from Senator Tillman the
custody of his grandchildren and
awarding them to their mother, the
wife of B. R. Tillman. Jr.
Not only are Mrs. B. H. Tillman, Jr.
and htr relatives delighted with the
supreme court decision awarding her
the custody of her children, but prac
tically the whole state has been stirred
by the hearing, and sympathy Is with
her to such an extent thta It te prac
tically certain a demonstration against
Senator Tillman would have followed
a decision against her.
The court holds that the act under
which young Tillman deeded the chil
dren to his parents le In violation of
both the state and Federal constitution
and Is In violation of the established
principle of law that the state will
sward the custody of tha children for
I heir best Interest.
Attorney Thurmond, for Senator Till
man. agreed with Attorneys Depaas A
Depass, for Mr*. Tillman, today not to
wait on a remittitur to be sent down,
hut to bring Mrs. Tillman’s chlldrsn to
her here tomorrow.

A bill changing the law under which
Senator Tillman was given the pos
seselon of the children of his son will
be pressed in the legislature, friends
