HUSBAND NO 1

m CITES NO. 2 AS CO. RESPONDENT LONDON DIVORCE CASE LONDON, March 4. A woman's first husband cited her second husband as co-respondent in an undefended divorce action before Mr. Justice Bucknill in the Divorce Court vesterday. Ernest Frederick Harris, of Shanghai, alleged that his wife, Mrs. Katherine Waller Harris, had lived with the corespondent, a man named Stuart V. Campbell, whom after a divorce in California, she had married according to American law. A decree nisi with costs was granted. Mr. and Mrs. Harris were married in 1525 at Berkeley, California, at the home of Mrs. Harris' parents. There were no children. Harris' case was that the marriage was happy until differences of temperament and nationality arose. Mrs. Harris seemed to become more and more American. In 1928, when leave was due to the husband, Mrs. Harris refused to come to England with him, and went to her parents in California. Harris learned recently that the American, decree was not binding on him. He was informed that; after his wife's decree was made absolute in 1930, she married Campbell. Evidence, all taken on commission, was given by Han-is and by two residents in Berkeley, California.
