PARENT AND CHILD, § 3 — custody of child. In a habeas corpus proceeding brought by the surviving parent to recover custody of his child, held, a parent has the right to the custody of his child as against the world where it appears he is a competent person to have such custody and it does not appear that the welfare of the child demands that its custody should be elsewhere than with its father.
