LONDON, December Sin the Campbell
divorce case to-day O'Neil, the man ser
want, on cross-examination repeated his
declaration of yesterday, that looking
through the key-hole in the dining-room
door he saw the plaintiff and Chief Shaw
in compromising position. Lord Colin
Campbell, witness said, was in the draw
ing-room whilst Chief Shaw and plaintiff
were on this occasion in the sitting-room.
Asked if he did not know that there were
flaps over the keyhOles in the dining-room
witness said he did not.
Elizabeth Evans, housemaid for Lady
Miles, testified that during the Easter
holidays in 1882, Lady Colin Campbell
occupied bed room No. 80 at Leigh Court,
Lady Miles residence, and that the Duke
of Marlborough occupied No. 81. Witness
saw Lady Colin once, while in the central
hall of Leigh Court, take off one of her slip
pers and throw it at the Duke. Both went
to Leigh Court On the same day and they
left on the same day also. While Lady
Campbell was at Leigh Court she took long
walks, in all kinds of weather, with DR..
Bird. 1t was only when her I.adyship re-
turned from visits to London that she ap-
peared i'll.
Witness remembered that on one occa.
sion, in April, 1883, General Butler was in
the drawing room with Lady Colin when
some one called. Lady Colin came ont
and said she was not at home. Her hair
at the time was disarranged and her face
flushed. When Lord Colin came home
Lady Colin went to her bedroom, and
General Butler came down stairs and let
himself out of the house Soon afterward
Lady Colin came down and began to sing
and play. Lord Colin called her, and she
went to his room and said she didn't know
he was home, and asked him why he did
not come into the drawing room.
He replied: because You had a visitor
there"
Lady Colin answered: 'Only the old
soldier; he has known me since | was a
child"
LORD Collins NURSE.
Annie Duffy, Lord Colin Campbell's s
nurse, testified that she was engaged in
1882 TO attend the defendant. Lady Colin
gave him, witcess said, but little atten-
ton. Her visits were scarcely ever longer
than five minutes and she never read to him.
Once witness saw DR.. Bird sitting on a
stool at Lady Collins feet. DR.. Bird met La
dy Colin at the Leigh Court station. Wit
ess once saw letter in Lady Collins hand
writing fall out of DR.. Birds case Of in
struments. Lady Colin became i'll in
April. Her ailment was unusual. DIR.
Bird conversing with witness ten days af-
terward, said: Don't talk about Lady
Collins illness-just say Lady Colin had a
cold" Witness, basing her observation
on a seventeen years experience as a
nurse, believed that Lady Collins illness
at this time was the result Of miscarrying
DR.. Bird dined in the house and remained
in Lady Collins bedroom until IL o'clock.
Lord Colin said: Isn't it rather late,
Doctor? Is Lady Colin so i'll that you
have to remain, although she has a nurse
here?n
DR.: Bird said; 81 fell asleep and forgot
the time.
LADY Collins ILLNESS.
After this illness Lady Colin wore half
hoop emerald ring, and when she went
into her husbands room she used always
to turn the stones of the ring around from
the top to the lower side of the finger that
bore it. Witness being asked why, being
Lord Collins nurse, she did not inform him
of what she saw, said she refrained from
doing so because she felt certain that ulti-
mately he would find it all out. Lady
Collins illness, witness cor 'inued, COM
menced on April 18th, ant Dy the 18th
witness had concluded that her Ladyship
had suffered miscarriage. Witness was
not aware, however, that any operation
had been performed, and never heard that
such was the case until now, when the
idea was suggested by counsels question.
A DISGUSTING REVELATION.
Amy Wright, hospital nurse, testified
that she was in attendance upon Lord
Colin Campbell at the time of his mar
riage. She accompanied his LOrdship and
Lady Colin to Scotland. From what she
saw, witness believed that Lady Campbell
at the time of her marriage and for some
time before twas suffering from an in
fectuous disease, the most loathsome of its
class CSensation) and that she did not
warn Lord Colin Campbell against the
probable result of the contamination of a
marriage with woman in her diseased
condition. Witness was not LOrn Colin
Campbell's medical adviser. She had
fourteen years experience in hospitals.
Two years ago she made statement TO So
licitOr Humphries similar to the one she
Just made concerning the plaintiff. The
case was at this point adjourned.
