LONDON, December s The trial of
the Campbell divorce case was resumed
to-day. Counsel for Lady Colin Camp
bell asked an order to be issued COM
pelling Lord Colin to give further secur-
ity for the payment of his wifs's COSTS
This the Judge refused to grant. Lord
Colin was again called to the witness
stand and testified that Lady Colin adj
mitted in July, 1883, while ill, that she
received two or three letters each day
from the Duke of Marlborough. She
refused to show the letters to him. She
also confessed to receiving letters from
General Butler. Daring the progress Of
the examination here Blood, the father
of the plaintiff, rose in court
and shaking his fist at Lord
Colin said: "You are making
infamous charges against your wife. It
is not the first time you have lied re-
garding her," Lord Colin denied he
committed adultery with Mary Watson.
and said he had taken action in Paris
against his wife under his solicitors adj
vice. He denied having asked Lady
Miles to apologize to DR.. Bird for having
alleged the Doctor caused a miscarriage.
Under cross-examination he refused to
swear she had miscarriage. His illness
began in II, was afterwards continuous
from '76 to 'S4, when he was perfectly
well. He remembered that at the trial
in S4 the jury was asked to say whether
or not he suffered from q disease which
could be communicated to his wife. At
that time he heard his counsel say he
was not single. The charge of any kind
against Lady Colin, Ellen Brown and
Mrs. Duffey told him in July 1883, as to
what they had testified and he believed
their statements. He admitted having
demonstrated with his wife against
her conduct over ring. Her
strength with charitable work
when asked if his wife ever lied
to him he said she used deception. He
admitted that after his wife left him at
Lion House his brother Walter called to
see her at Cadogan Place. While absent
Lady Colin corresponded with him
until the final rupture. He only
kept one of her letters. This letter
was written December, 1881. 1t began
with "Darling Boy" and ended with
"Your Arab. After the marriage was
consummated Lady Colin never said she
had suffered from something she was
unable to understand. He did not
remember having told his wife
to take precautions. He admit
ted he had told her to consult
with her sister, but not about anything
she told him. When pressed, he adj
mitted having said previous to the
trial that he told his wife to take
precaution to prevent having children.
This admission caused q sensation
in the court room. Lord Colin further
said his means limited his wife, Pro-
vided 1000 pounds furnish their house
and she bought furniture at auction
sales and decorated the house at her own
expense. He admitted Rose Baer was
dismissed July II. not as she swore 4th
of June. He believed his wife went to
Leigh Court July 10. If his counsel
said Lady Colin rushed back suddenly
and dismissed Ross Baer, witness was
bound to believe him. [Laughter.]
Lord Colin admitted having used vio-
lence on Mrs. Duffy. He further ad-
mitted that when he asked Lady Colin
in May, 1883, to withdraw the message
she had sent to him that month, his
wife replied: 81 will, but for Gods
sake leave me alone" Lord Colin also
said that the Duke of Marlborough sent
presents to Lady Colin at their marriage
and dined with her afterwards. Wit
ness admitted he once had an infectious
disease, the first time in 1870.
