By I ail'd I‘rrtf CHICAGO, May 4.—Samuel Epstein, assistant city prosecutor, Chicago's ' bachelor father," today was without the red-haired Irish baby girl whose smiles won adoption by the young attorney in a fictionlike drama. Judge Thomas .1. Lynch heeded the plea of Miss Agnes McConnell for the return of her daughter Joan, and Epstein consented though his fondness for the child first led him to evade service of a writ requiring his presence at the hearing. Joan is to be cared for by Mrs. C. B. Kuble, the baby's aunt, in a small Wisconsin town, the name of which was not disclosed as a protection to the mother and child. Epstein adopted Joan after he found the baby abandoned in a basket at his door last February. The court said he would be permitted to see her whenever he wished. Miss McConnell said her daughter was abandoned by a nurse who was caring for the baby while the mother was seeking employment in Detroit. On her return to the city she discovered what had occurred and instituted proceedings to regain the girl.

I doubt if the President has that power now. The bill would not disturb anything in Hawaii regarding the pardoning power. .The Governor would retain that right.” Senator Henry F. As hurst (Dem., Ariz.> said bills proposing that congress pardon Lieutenant Thomas Massie. Mrs. Granville Fortescue and two naval enlisted men. were futile because congress had not the authority. Logan asked that his bill be referred to the judiciary committee and asked speedy action on it. He contends several of the bills now pending with respect to pardon or review' of the Massie murder trial are not practicable.
