another chapter to their Chequered matrimonial
history. This time the wife, barbara Kropp, who

ago and lived very contentedly together until last
year They then quarrelled and the husband OBJ
tanned divorce. After two months separation
the husband and wife agreed that they were
happier together and were remarked, only to be
again divorced WITHIN the same year. Though
now legally separated there is as little peace for
them apparently as before. Only on Wednesday

husband had been hanging about her house and
dogging her steps for chance a to injure and
lecture and then released him upon his personal
