case of
:Gcorge W. Lockwood versus Mrs.
. George W. Lockwood in the probate
'court yesterday were forced to call
the battle a draw when Judge Henry
\t. Gregory dismissed petitions by
ltoill Let-know. who lives in lirldge-
port and Mrs. Lockwood. living at
in Second street. East Norwaik. for
custody of their two children.
Carlton Burr Lockwood. 7. one of
the children. will therefore remain
with Mrs. Lockwood. and Elise May
Lockwood. 6. will remain in the care
of her father.
The first petition to be filed was
that of the husband, who works for
the American Chain company. for
complete custody of his children.
They had been taken by Mrs. Lock-
wood when she left his home on
Central avenue. Bridgeport. after a
series of squabbles. His attorneys
claimed that the children's mother
was an unfit person and backed the
petition with proof that she sought
other company occasionally and had
taken to the writing of fiction stor-
ies about her escapades that were in
questionable taste. they said. Judge
Gregory did not consider the evi-
denoe sufficient and dismissed the
claim.
Part of the testimony offered was
to the effect that Mrs. Jocks-cod
gave a series of surprise parties for
her husband at their home in
Bridgeport. On each occasion he
rcmonetrated with her following the
party. The count was considered
insufficient evidenCe of unfitness by
the coart.
Judge Gregory dismissed Mrs.
Lockwood‘s petition. also designed to
show that her husband was an unfit
person. on the same grounds.
It is probable that the case will
be carried to Superior Court on ap-
peal by Attorneys William A. Grif-
fin of South Norwnlk and Lewis M.
Bernstein of Bridgeport. counsel for
Mr. Lockwood. Attorney George N.
Flnklestone of Bridgeport represent-
ed Mrs. Lockwood. who is now em-
ployed at the Leroy Shirt company
