Anna Camp of Upper Alton to fix the parentage of a child born to her. She averred the child's father was Charles Parrish, a young man. who at times kept company with her daughters. When the child was born there was considerable stir made by the child being carried over and left on the doorstep of a neighbor. In the trial a daughter of Mrs.

Camp said she had left the baby there at the suggestion of a neighbor. Site said Bhe was afraid to put the child on a stranger's doorstep and knowing Chauncey Clayton she thought that would be a good place to put It, but she had no special reason for putting It there. The birth certificate of the child gave the father as a Brighton, 111., soldier, who died from the flu at Camp Taylor, and quite a different person from the young man accused In this case. Justice Lessner decided that the birth certificate statement, coupled with' testimony given at the trial, Justified him in dismissing the case, leaving the parentage as originally stated on the birth certificate. During the trial, Justice Lessner said, it appeared that sometimes the defendant would take the daughter to the picture show and sometimes the girl's mother would escort the young man.

Justice Lessner said he had no doubt of the lack of genuineness of the claims of the woman as to the father of the child, and that the red hair of the baby undoubtedly exonerated the young man accused. It was testified that on neither side of the house of the young man was there anyone with red hair.
