“SHOULD GO TO GAOL”
MAN WHO LEFT WIFE REMANDED TILL TO-MORROW “This is the sort of man who ought to go to gaol!” said Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., after hearing what Percy Hugh Reckenzaum’s wife had to say about him in the Police C.ourt this morning. Mrs. Reckenzaum said that her husband left her in January and she had had nothing from him since. He was arrested in Palmerston North and brought back to Auckland to face a charge of failing to maintain her. "He got into debt and was ashamed to come back,” she said. "He left me in Canada, where we were married, once before. I came out here and tried to patch things up.” Reckenzaum had nothing to say. Mr. Hunt wanted to give him three months, but it was pointed out that he could not do this on the present charge. “Well charge him with wife-deser-tion,” said the magistrate, and remanded the man till to-morrow morning for sentence.
