Ziemer v. Wheeler

GEORGE Ziemer appears here as plaintiff in error, and will hereinafter be referred to as plaintiff, while W. B. Wheeler, an officer of the state bureau of child and animal protection, appears as defendant in error, and will hereinafter be referred to as defendant. The sole question presented for our determination is the legality and regularity of the proceedings under which the eleven children of plaintiff were committed to the State Home for Dependent and Neglected Children. Plaintiff contends that the court was without jurisdiction to hear and determine the cause, and that all the proceedings in connection therewith were void, and therefore the cause should be reversed and remanded, with an order for its dismissal.
