DIVORCE SUIT
RESPONDENT'S EVIDENCE By Telegraph —Press Association WELLINGTON, This Day. The Morgan divorce action was resumed to-day. Respondent said they became engaged on his return from the 1928 Olympic Games, but she had broken the engagement after two years. Last year she met him in Wellington, and three weeks later they were married. They spent two months in Brisbane, during which he did no work and earned no money, and really lived on her money. Generally speaking throughout the vhole of her married life she was unhappy. Respondent denied going to a dance at Gisborne with Marsh, and the suggestion of misconduct with him was untrue. When she arrived in Wellington from Gisborne, she told Morgan she was going to leave him, because of his cruelty, and had been advised to get a policeman to protect her. Morgan said there was no reason for that, and if she came and got her things he would not touch her. He said if she drew the money out of the bank she could get a divorce. His Honor: You wanted a divorce? Respondent: We both wanted it The Court adjourned till Monday.
