Mr. McClay, defending, said the legal marriage was most unhappy. Gascolgne separated from his wife in 1910, but in 1912, at his request, there was s reconciliation, and a new home was set up.
In 1914 they separated again, and two years later there was an- other reconciliation, which lasted only a year.
One evening, returning from a theatre, Gascoigne found his house had been seized for debt, and he spent the night in a cafe. He had no work, became de. stitute, walked about the streets with practically nothing to cat, and slept in the parks.
