BLUNT TALK

A Wife JvVho Changed Her Husband . i ■ (From '"N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland Rep.) It can hardly be wondered that John Francis McGrath told Harold L4O Jenkinson, whom he cited as the co-respondent when suing for divorce last week at Auckland, to So to Hades when the latter asked im -if he had any objection to Mrs. MoGrath residing with him* 1 UCY ALICE, the wife, her husband *"* told Mr. Justice Reed, had • said that she preferred Harold to him, and as He put it, Jenkinson came in when he went out. » I<awyer Matthews for the petitioner explained to the court that the witnesses he wished to call in support of 'his client were unhappily behind stone walls, being accomodated there owing to failure to pay their maintenance. His law clerka. gave corroborative evidence —one even going so far as to give details of the hospitality he had received from Mrs. McGrath. , He was regaled with a cup of tea 'while he waited for the casual Jenkinson to come home from work. ' "Parted," said the Judge, or words to that feffect, but no order was made Its to whether Jenkinson was to go where the late husband had figuratively consigned him.
