Wife Did Not Know of Husband’s Ordeal i HE FACED CRIMINAL CHARGE, ' SHE THOUGHT HE WAS AT OFFICE. j A middle-aged woman was preparing i meals ami looking after tier five ehiiI dreti in a house in Cornwall road, HarI row, unaware that her husband was on ; trial at the Old Bailey on a criminal i charge. I She thought that lie was working at | a shipping office as usual. Airs Holland, wife of Ralph Holland, acquitted a few hours before at the Old Bailey in the La Crescent trial, told the Daily Sketch the dramatic story which lay behind her husband’s appearance m the dock. “Aly husband kept the trial secret from me,’’ she said. “He knew that if he told me of his terrible ordeal 1 should nearly have gone mad with worry. “During the last few weeks my husband ..has seemed very worried and has hardly spoken to us. “It seems terrible for him to stand in the dock at Old Bailey without my knowing anything about it, but 1 am glad it ended so happily. He has always been a good husband and is a good man. “This afternoon I received a telegram from him saying, ‘‘Case over. Will be back late to-night.' and until 1 was told I did not know what this meant. “When I see him 1 shall tell him that I realise what he did in*keeping this thing secret from me was to help inland the children. ‘‘His whole life is bound up in his family, and I know he did it tor this reason.’ ’ Sydney Graham (37), company director, and Ralph 11.

NEWTON KING LIB Stratford. “0.K.!” said the- weed merchant.; “there’s lots of brands of tobacco, as you say, but, in a manner of speaking, you can divide them broadly into two classes —the toasted and the untoasted. Yes, and I’ll tell you something more: once you take tne toasted —the real thing, mind —you won’t care a row of pins about the untoasted, no matter what the brand is.” The customer looked thoughtful. “Can toasting really make all that difference?” he ventured. “It can —and it does!” declared the tobacconist emphatically, “the toasting of tobacco is one of the most ingenious and efficient processes as yet invented. What does it do? WhV, it cuts out the nicotine and at the same time gives this tobacco that fine, pure, clean, sweet fragrance smokers love. You can smoke any amount of it with safety—and, my word!—you enjoy every whiff!” ‘‘l must certainly have a tin,” laughed the customer, “a small one just to try it out.” “You’ll want a big one next time,” prophesied the tobacconist, “you wait and see.” fo mGat ancl cheese sandwiches, “Beaver’ Brand Sauces make a more appetising lunch.
