Claim By Woman In
 Divorce Action
Especial from United Press.)

New York, Jan. 25-When the di- vorce action of Raymond F. Rode, a well known New York photographer, against his wife, in which he named George s. High, a Chicago millionaire real estate dealer, as correspondent was called before Judge Mccall, in the supreme court, today, Mrs. Rode created a sensation by arising and de- manding that she be heard.
 So earnest was her plea that, after she asserted that the whole case against her was a cons piracy and that she had no money to defend her good name, the court assigned a lawyer to protect her in this case.
 Rode produced a photo graph of his wife in the flimsiest of attire which he said High took.
 He also produced records of the H. linois courts which purported to show that MT. Rode had signed a release "of all claims,'' the nature of which was not set forth, against High. Mrs. Rode told the court that the photo graph in question was taken by a girl friends. She so impressed the judge that he postponed the trial.
