The utter helplessness of a tiny child six weeks old. won its mother's suit for its custody, in the District Supreme Court, late yesterday afternoon without testimony of witnesses or argument of counsel.

The father's lawyers then agreed with Crandal Mackey, attorney for the mother, that the baby should be given into her charge and that a hearing on her writ of habeas corpus should be poetponed indefnitely and subject to two days' notice of counsel if the father should wish to disturb the arrangement.
