Superior Court of Pennsylvania January 20, 1953, Appeal, No. 202 (Commonwealth ex rel. Gardner v. Eastman)

Opinion by

Dithrich, J.,

The contending parties in this child custody case are the father and the step-father of an eight-year-old boy. The learned president judge of the court below, after two extended hearings and “considerable reflection over a period of several weeks,” finally concluded that the future interests of the child would be best served by awarding custody to his father.
