HUSBAND DINED “OTHER MAN”

Divorce Denied As He Encouraged Wife of Associate With Co-res-pondent. Los Angeles.—Judge Wood, of Los Angeles, refused to grant to Frank G. Gegoux because the testimony showed that the husband gave a birthday party to the “other man” in the case, Edward G. Branzier, after he had discovered the relations existing between the two, and encouraged the intimacy by permitting them to be together at hotels along the coast while he pursued his own pleasures. The judge held that Gegoux was not in court to defend the action, and it developed from the testimony that one of the considerations of the settlement of the $50,000 alienation suit brought by Gegoux was settled out of court last February, was that Mrs* Gegoux should not contest her husband’s suit for divorce.
