John Kenneally Loses Grace

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Dunedin. Representative.) JOHN AUGUSTINE KENNEALLY'S idea of keeping a wife J was not an expensive one. The sum total of his monetary allowance to Grace Kathleen Kenneally during 1 their four short years of wedlock would barely keep the modern matron m a twelve months' supply of "cigarettes. ' ?■• Ten pounds was all Grace saw of her John's cash since their marriage at Invercargill m 1924, and for two years of that period she was living with her husband's people, where she considered her treatment wasn't of the best. But Grace had other and more definite proof that John Kenneally was a poor specimen of a husband, and that was why she travelled to Dunedin and interviewed a certain young woman who was the proud mother of one. of John's children. Grace stated her case to Judge MacGreg-or at the last sessions of the Dunedin Supreme Court, and asked for a divorce on the grounds of misconduct. The decree nisi, to be moved absolute after three calendar months, should not worry John very much, for he politely told his wife during a recent interview that he could not keep two women.
