A Massachusetts court injunc-
tion has been issued to a Jew-
ish couple to return their Cath-
olic-born adopted daughter to
her natural mother on the
grounds of a state law that chil-
dren, "when practicable," be
placed for adoption with parents
of their own faith.
Mr. and Mrs. Melvin B. Ellis,
who are now living in Miami
Beach, Fla., after evading proc-
ess servers in six states, have
declared they will "fight to •the
finish" to keep their daughter,
Hildy,- adopted in 1951.
The -child was born out of
wedlock to Mrs. Marjorie Mc-
coy Doherty, a Boston Roman
Catholic. Ten days later, she
signed papers permitting the
Ellises, who had no children, to
adopt the • infant. Learning ,the
,Ellises were Jewish, the mother
began legal proceedings to have
the child taken from them and
put into a Catholic orphanage
for adoption by a Catholic fam-
ily. A Boston Court nullified
the Ellis adoption in 1953. In
July, 1955, the state' Supreme
Court ordered Hildy returned to
her natural parent. -
