REMARKABLE DISCLOSURES
[nv TKLWiRAm. —rm-iss association.] Auckland, This Day. Some remarkable disclosures in regard to the methods of private detectives were made in Court yesterday, when Henry Kehoe was charged with disobedience of an order for maintenance of hiH wife. Evidence of defendant's neglect to provide maintenance was first callec 1 , then evidence was called for the defence. Donald McNab said he received £lO from Kehoe to inquire into his wife's habits of living. Hh said he was a private detective and admitted going into the woman's house and asking for board. He admitted committing adultery with her. Magistrate: "So that is what your private detective did?" Defendant: "Yes." Mr Lundon (for the wife) : "Are you a married man?" Defendant: "Yes." "Any children." "No, thank God for that." Alice Kehoe denied misconducting herself with McNab. Hie statement was untrue. Mr Kettle eventually adjourned the case for a while, Baying he would not express his opinion of McNab. If he did he might find a difficulty to find words to express himself, even assuming the statements to be true. Mr Lundon: "All the greater blackguards if they are."
