BARACCHl DIVORCE CASE,
WIFE; GRANTED £300 ALIMONY.
Second Suit Follows.
Before Mr. Justice Mann, in the Third Civil Court, yesturday, Kathleen Inez Bar-ncchi, 26 years of age, of 32 Park street, St. Kilda, temporarily residing at "Cairo," Curlewis street, Bondi, Sydney, petitioned for divorce from Guido Carlo Luigi Bar-acchi, aged 34 years, on the ground of mis-conduct with Claire Zander.
In her petition, Mrs. Barncehi said that after the marriage, in 1918, they lived in a flat at Albert street, East Melbourne, for about six weeks, Respondent then got into trouble with the authorities, over the con-scription campaign, and was convicted for a breach of the War Precautions Act.,-He was sent to gaol for three months, as he refused to enter into a bond undertaking not to repeat the offence. Subsequently, he joined the petitioner in Sydney, after which they returned to Melbourne and lived there for two and a half years. In April, 1921 for the sake of the child's health, and with the consent of the re-spondent, she went to Queensland, where she stayed for about five months. During that time her husband corresponded with her in affectionate terms. On his sugges-tion the home was sold, and in June, 1921, he wrote saying that he was going to New Zealand.
Wished to Visit America.
Subsequently the Federal Attorney Gene-ral's department wrote informing her that respondent had applied for a passport to go to America, and asked the department if she consented to his going. To this she replied that she did not constent. He re-turned from New Zealand, to Sydney in 1921, when she was staying there. Re-spondent made a long explanation regard-ing his trip to New Zealand: but made no reference to resuming married life with her. He said that he had become entangled with a woman whose name at first he refused to give. Later he said that he had lived in New Zealand with a married woman named Claire Zander, known as "Harry" Zander. After this she had his movements watched and on February,10, 1922, in com-pany with private detectives, she visited a flat in Elizabeth Bay road. Sydney. The door was opened by a woman. One of the detectives asked respondent. "Do you admit that you are living here with this woman?" Respondent hesitated, and then said, "I do admit it, but I want you to speak respect-fully to me." The detective then asked the woman if she were Mrs. "Harry" Zander She replied, "That is my name -unfortun-ately."
Wife Gives Evidence.
In reply to Mr. Justice Mann, Mrs. Bar-acvhi said that her husband followed no occupation in Sydney. She had told him of her intention to petition for a divorce; and he had suggested that, for the sake of decency, it might be delayed, and that Mrs. Zander might be kept out of the proceed-ings. Before going to England respondent had asked her if her yearly allowance ( £300) would do; and she had told him that it would.
Evidence was given of the financial post-tion of the respondent, and it was stated that £18,000 was due to him from his mother's estate. Mr. L. S. Woolf, peti-tioner's counsel, told Mr. Justice Mann that Baracchi at present was drawing more
than £1,000 a year.
A decree nisi was granted, with costs, alimony at the rate of £300 a year for life being granted. Petitioner was given cus-tody of the child of the marriage, a daugh-ter three yeas of age.
Mr. Woolf was instructed by MeMirs. Gil-lett, Moir, and Ahern.
Baracchi as Co-respondent.
Mr. Justice Mann also granted a decree nisi, with costs against the co-respondent, named (Guido Carlo Lugi Baracchi) in a petition by John Keith Zander, wool-lasser, 28 years of age, of 9 Marine parade, St. Kilda, who asked for divorce from Har-riett Elizabeth Zander. 25 years of age, on the ground of misconduct. The parties were married in 1917. and before her mar-riage respondent was a "theatrical chorus girl."
They lived together up to May, 1921, when petitioner went to her relatives at Chiltern for a holiday, saying' that she would be away for a fortnight, A week later she wrote telling him that she was well, and that she would not be away long. Shortly aftewards she again wrote and said that she was not returning home as she wanted to "go her own way". Up to that time, said petitioner, she had been contented, and they had lived happily. to-gether. The second letter came as a sur prise to him, and he could not understand the reason for her action. Later he heard that she had gone to Sydney with Baracchi early in June, and that the two had gone on to New Zealand where they lived as man and wife.
Mr. L. S. Woolf (instructed by Mr. W. J. Strong) appeared for the petitioner.
