'Witness became acquainted with corespondent in 1913, but had no idea that there wa s any impropriety between her husband and Miss Scott until the following year, when he told her that he wa.s going to New Zealand iwith co-respondent. She pleaded with her husband," and relations tried to dissuade him, but it was useless. He suggested that petitioner should come to New Zealand and pose "as a sister, or something." :She did not know what, exactly. This, of course, was madness, and she refused.—"The News: of the World."
