among the poor and that her engage
ments OF this kind kept her employed sew
efal times week from TO 10 o'clock IN
The evening. Lady Miles produced book
to show that plaintiff and the Duke OF
Marlborough occupied rooms in opposite
ends OF the house at Leigh Court and not

THROUGH TIE KEY HOLE
In the dining-ruOm door in CadOgan Place,
through which the man servant O'Neill te5ti-
he'd he saw Lady Colin and the Duke OF Marl-
borough together. Witness gave as his
opinion that it was absolutely impossible to
see the floor of the dinIng-rOom through the
key-h0le. 1t was decided to have the jury
visit and inspect for themselves the key
hole and dining-room. The case for Lady
Colin Campbell was then closed. The
Duke of Marlborough. one of the CO.
respondents then took the stand. and in a
firm voice said he never was guilty of
adultery or any improperly with Lady
Colin Campbell. Continuing, the Duke OF
Marlborough said he never made appoint
ments to meet Lady Colin. He received
from her few ordinary
LETTERS ABOUT BOOKS.
Lady Colin asked witness not to call any
more upon her. as Lord Colin disliked to
have her receiving male visitors. Witness
remarked that it was very absurd, and
never called again at Cadogan Place.
Witness did not know where Lady
Collins room at Leigh Court was,
and never went to her bedroom.
He never. as was testified, had been
on the Paddington station platform with
her. and was never with her at Pur1eet.
Upon cross examination the duke said the
woman with whom he was at Purfieet was
Mrs. Perry. a woman of the town. They
registered and remained at Purheet
as Mr. and Mrs. Terry. Witness
declined to name openly the lady
seen calling upon him at Queen
Anne's gate, whom the servants testified
they believed was the plaintiff. He, how
ever, wrote her name on bit of paper and
handed it to the judge and the counsel for
both sides.

bell when in London. The testimony of
the man servant O'Neill that he saw witness
and Lady Colin in compromising position
in the dining-rOom of Cadagon place. Chief
