COURT'S MEANING CLEARED Judge's Statement Xot Intended to Wrong Mrs. Hunt. By asserting that "both parties were at fault" in refusing to grant C. R. Hunt a divorce from Dorothy Hunt in the circuit court Friday, Judge Gatens did not mean to infer that Mrs. Hunt wa guilty of any infidelity, such as she charged against her husband, but merely was em phasizing the fact that if she had called her husband a dlry yellow cur and a "degenerate" as he charged, and which she denied, it would have been offset by his conduct with other women. Publication of the assertion that Mrs. Hunt was held to have been "equally at fault" with -her husband without explanation of the jurist's meaning placed Mrs. Hunt in a wrong position with the public, she as serted yesterday. She was not charged with infidelity, though her answer to her husband's complaint made such charges against him. "I have seldom seen a case in which there has been so little ground for divorce cited," said Judge Gatens yes terday. "The trifling charges of the husband were more than offset by his conduct. Mrs. Hunt did not ask a divorce. Chehalis Swamps Centralia. CHEHALIS! Wash.. Jan. 17.
