1Opinion of the CourtO’Niell, J.
Relator appeals from a judgment rejecting his demand, in habeas corpus proceedings, for possession of his three children, aged, respectively, five years, three years, and six months. Respondents are the maternal grandparents of the children, whose mother is dead. She left the children in the care of her parents, at whose home she died. She had taken refuge there because of her husband’s cruelty; and, when she died, he was accused of having beaten her fatally and was confined in prison. The charge of murder was abandoned for want of sufficient evidence against relator.
