LONDON, December3. In the Camp
bell divorce care today, O'Neil, the
man servant, on cross examination,
repeated hiB declaration of Yesterday
that, looking through key hole in
the dining room door, he saw the
plaintiff and Chief Shaw In a compro-
missing position. Lord Colin Camp
bell. witness said, was in the drawing
room while Chief Shaw and plaintiff
were on this occasion In the dining
room. Asked IL he did not know that
there were flaps over the key holes in
the dining room door, witness said
that he did not.
Elizabeth Evans, a house maid for
Lady Miles, testified that during the
Easter holidays in 1882, Lady Colin
Campbell occupied bedroom No. 38 at
Leigh Court, and that the Duke of
Marlborough occupied No. 81. Wit
ness saw Lady Colin once while in the
central hall OF Leis n off
one Of her slippers atstockl cot AZ the
Duke. Both went 10 Leigh Court on
the same day, and they left on the
same day alec. While, Lady Colin was
at Leigh Court she appeared to be ro-
bust and went on long walks in all
kinds OF weather, in snow, rain or
mud with Dr.. Bird. 1t was only after
the plaintiffs return TO London that
she appeared to be i'll, Witness re-
membeTed that on one occasion, in
April, 1888, Gen. Butler was in the
drawing room with Lady Colin when
some one called. L3dy Colin came
out and eaid che was not at home.
Her hair at the time was disarrsnged
and her face flushed. When Lord
Colin came home Lady Colin went to
her bedroom and Gen. Butler came
down stairs and let himself out Of the
house. Soon aiterwsrd Lady Colin
came down and began to sing and
play. Lord Colin called her and she
went to his room and said she did not
know he was home and asked him
why he had not come into the draw
ing room. He replied: "Bec use you
had visitor there" Lady Colin an
swered: "0nly the old soldier, he has
known me since / was child"
Annie Duffy, Lord Colin Campbell's
nurse, testified that she was engaged
in 1852 TO attend the defendant. Lady
Colin gave him, witness said, but little
attention; her visits were scarcely
ever longer than Ave minutes, and she
never read to him. Once witness paw
DR.. Bird sitting on stool at Lady
Collins feet. DR.. Bird met Lady Colin
at the Leigh Court station. Witness
once saw Q letter in Lady Collins
handwriting fall out OF DR.. Birds case
Of Instruments. Lady Colin became i'll
In April. Her ailment was unusual.
DIR. Bird, conversing with witness
ten days afterward, said: Don't talk
about Lady Collins Illness; Just say
Lady Colin had a cold" Witness,
basing her observation on seventeen
years experience as nurse, believed
that Lady Collins Illness was this time
the result OF miscarrying. DR.. Bird
dined in the house aud remained in
Lady Collins bedroom until IL o'clock.
Lord Colin said: "Isn't it rather
late, Doctor? Is Lady Colin 80 i'll
that you have to remain, although she
has q nurse here2" DR.. Bird answered:
81 fell asleep and forgot the time"
After this illness Lady Colin wore q
hslf-hoop emerald ring. When ahe
went into her husbands room she
used always to turn the stones OF the
ring around from the top 10 the lower
side Of the finger that bore IL. Wit
ness being asked why, being Lord
Collins nurse, she did not inform him
Of what she saw, said she RETAINED
from doing so because she felt certain
that ultimately he would find 1t all
out, Lady Collins illness, witness
continued, commenced on April l4th,
and by the 10th witness had con-
cluded that her ladyship had suffered
miscarriage. Witness was not aware,
however, that any operation bad been
performed, and never heard that such
was the case until now, when the idea
was suggested by counBePs question.
LADY CAMPBELL HAD THE DISEASE
FIRST.
Amy Wright. hospital nurse, tes-
tilted that she was in attendance upon
Lord Colin Campbell at the time of
his marriage. She accompanied His
Lordship and Lady Colin to Scotland.
From what che saw witness believed
that Lady Campbell at the time OF her
marriage and for some time before it,
was suffering from an infectious dis
ease, the most loathsome OF its class
lseneation), and that she did not warn
Lord Colin Campbell against the prob
able results Of the contamination OF a
marriage with woman in her dis
eased condition. Witness was not
