MURDERER'S CHILD.

CUSTODY PROBLEM FOR A SOLOMON.

A peculiar situation has arisen with regard to the custody of the twelve-months-old baby of Harry Frampton, aged 24, a naval steward, who was reprieved after being sentenced to death for the murder of his 19-year-old wife at Chatham.

The child, a boy named Eugene, has been adopted by the Jale- worth Board of Guardians, and now the parents of the imprison- ed father and the mother of the dead woman are anxious to have the care of him.

Mr. F. E. Harmsworth, clerk to the Isleworth Board of Guar- dians, said to a reporter: "When Frampton murdered his wife, his child automatically . became chargeable to the Chatham Guar- dians, as the couple had formerly lived in Chatham. The Chatham authorities transferred the child to my Board of Guardians, since the unfortunate couple were get- tle in the parish of Brentford, which comes under us.

The idea is that, as emigration is no longer possible or desired, the Italian Government must find a means for supporting the popula tion at home. S
