EXTRA MARRIAGES HELD
NOT DIVORCE GROUNDS
BY the Associated Press.


KANSAS CITY, Kans., April 1s.-A
little matter Of couple Of extra mar
riages and IL years difference in age
is not going to win q divorce for Jens
Jensen.
The Jensens took their marital diff
ferences before a district court Judge.
Each declared the other had nagged.
Admitting he had been married three
times, Jensen charged he had been
grossly deceived, and that he was Mrs.
Jensens sixth, and not her fourth mate.
His spouse, he alleged, was 50 instead
Of 81 years old, as she had represented
at the time of their marriage, last
August.
Quoth the Judge:
"The divorce petition Is denied. The
cross petition also is denied. Both of
you are old enough, and have been
married enough to know better"
