On May 29, 1917, the Hon. Thomas R. Gordon, one of the judges of the Jefferson circuit court, on application, made to him by Robert T. Motschmann, the father of Mary Motschmann, in the manner and form required by section 399 of the Criminal Code, issued, as he was obliged to do under the mandatory provisions of the code, a writ of habeas corpus against the Detention Home of the Juvenile Court, the Board of Children's Guardians, and Mary L. White, matron of the home, commanding them to produce the body of Mary Motschmann, a girl about 13 years of age, before him as judge at a time and place mentioned in the writ. Immediately upon the issual of the writ by Judge Gordon, Mary Rallihan, the grandmother of the child, in her own name and as next friend, and Mary Motschmann, filed their petition in this court, asking that a writ of prohibition be issued against Judge Gordon "prohibiting him from proceeding in any way to take the petitioner, Mary Motschmann, from the custody of the Detention Home, the Board of Children's Guardians, and Mary L. White, and the juvenile branch of the Jefferson circuit court, and from issuing any order, proceeding or mandate, judgment or command whereby the child, Mary Motschmann, will be taken out of the state of Kentucky or out of the jurisdiction of the courts of said state or surrendered or delivered to the custody of Robert T. Motschmann, the father of said child, or taken from the care or custody of her grandparents."

Motschmann before the judge of the Jefferson circuit court, Common Pleas Branch, Second Division, on the 29th day of May, 1917, at the hour of four o'clock p. m.
