WIFE LIBELLED ON TOMBSTONE:
FINE FOR A DIVORCED HUSBAND.
The Hungarian Royal Curia in Budapest has just passed the final Judgment in the following remark- able libel case. The wife of a Budapest merchant brought an action for defamation of charac ter against her divorced husband because the latter had the follow- ing inscription engraved on the tombstone of their son, who had died at the age of six: "On Dooms- day I shall come to thee. Thou, wilt be compelled to give account of my premature end to the High- est Judge." The initials of thi inscription when put together give the name of the boy's mother. In addition, there are the following words in Hebrew on the stone: Mother, are thou not afraid of the Highest Judge?"
