““. . . Communications between husband and wife are not confidential when made in the presence of third parties. . . . “. . . Whatever is said in the presence and hearing of third persons has none of the characteristics or attributes of a confidential communication. There is no secrecy about it. It is then published to the witnesses, who are in no sense parties to the conjugal relation. . . .” (pp. 143-144.)”

Where a proper question is asked, and an improper answer given, the only remedy of the aggrieved party is by motion to strike out.
