Kennedy, secured. according to admis- sions in the petition, by collusion. He refused to pass on the petition, but or- dered it stricken from the records of the district court. “This petition is an fnsult to this court,” Judge Redick said from the bench. “A plaintiff who has deceived this court by oonspiring with the defendant to seoure a divorce has no standing and cannot seoure relief if the defendant fails to keep his agreement with her. “In the seventeenth century in Eng- land,” the judge continued girmly, “a pe- tition was filed In which a court was asked to become a party to wrongdoing. The plaintiff was hanged and the attor- ney was deported. “I believe that a lawyer who brings a case of this kind is subject to censure, and 1 make this statement publicly.” J. E. Von Dorn was Mrs. Kennedy's attorney. Special Trainsto - Bring Delegates to Big T.P.
