The Campbell Filth

LoSDoSi December 9.-The cross ex-
animation of Lord Colin Campbell, de-
PENDANT in the Campbell divorce case,
continued to day. He was asked
waether. having heard the evidence. he
still alleged that bis wife had been
criminsliy intimate with DR.. Bird al
CadUgan Place, at a house in Brook
Street and az Leigh Court. and answered
that the question ought 10 be submit
ted 70 the Jury. This reply produced a
sensation. Plaintiffs counsel then an
nouncei that the cross examination
was concluded. The Judge asked Lord
Colin whether he had ever been guilty
of familiarities with.Mary Watson, and
he answered. None whatever
Surgeons PropeTti and Allingham tes-
tilted that they had heard a description
Of the ailment from which Lady Colin
suffered in 1881 and 1882, and that IL
was not of a nature to prevent her from
doing wrong. At this point 1t was an
nounced that Lord Colin Campbsll's
side OF the case was concluded.
The Duke of Marlborough counsel
opened for the defense and said the
Duke, fearless Of threats, would appear
as a witness. and swear the charges
were groundless. The alleged case
against the Duke consisted of ordinary
incidents, the small talk of society had
been turned into allegations Of imprc-
priety. The only exceptions were the in
c:dents at Purfieet and Leigh Court. He
would treat of those especially. Lady
Collins life was devoted 10 charitable
works and was inconsistent with the
charges brought against her. Even If
the Purhset and Leigh Court allega-
tons were true, could the jury say
there had been adultery? The CORE
spondence with Lord Blandford related
chiefly TO borrowing books. Lady
Colin was engaged in literary pursuits.
She wrote books, worked at Journalism
and frequently found it necessary TO
borrow books of reference. The Leigh
Court charges rested upon the evidence
OF Rose Baer, whom nobody could trust.
The Dukes counsel declared thst
Lady Campbell and the Duke did not
occupy adjoining rooms st Leigh Court.
Lord Colin knew the facts of the Pur-
feet incident long before the las: trial,
VET he then stated he had no suspicion
against his wife. II Lady Campbell had
been guilty of adultery, she could not
{ btain a judicial separation. IL Lord
Colin was honorable, how could he now.
without further evidence, bring this
charge? Counsel admitted
that Lord Blsndford was at Purtieet,
but declared that he was there alone.
Lady Campbell would account for every
hour of her time between Saturday,
August 18th, and Monday. August 18th.
He trusted the jury was not prejudiced
against the Duke of Marlborough on
sccount of his previous appearance in
the divorce court. The Duke had not

said his client would deny upon oath
that he ever had improper relations with

was an absolute fabrication. Captain

family and a man of unsullied life.
