Mr.. Gill, counsel for Wertheimer. the CORE
spondent in the Dunlo divorce case in London.
delivered vigorous address to the jury yester-
day afternoon. He described how Lady Dunlo
had been hunted by detectives. He gave Sir
Charles Russell scoring, saying he objected
to men being Swallowed. He spoke of Marina
duke Wood as the creature who inspired, even
among the court spectators, an instructive dis
like, and said he was sorry for Dunlo having a
friend who was liar and perjurer When
Lady Dunlo tearfully begged her husband to
take her abroad with him and he replied that
he had no means she offered to work for them
both. MIR. Gill said he did not want to shock
this noble family, but he would surely be per-
mitted to suggest that the impecunious scion of
nobility might have obtained some employ
ment.
Lady Dunlo at this point entered the witness
box, looking pale and exhausted. She how
ever, bore the ordeal Of long and searching
examination splendIdly. She detailed the his
tory of her liaison with Weston the father of
her child, and soemnly declared that she had
never been Wertheimer's mistress. After her
marriage she begged Lord Dunlo to take her
to Australia, as he promised but he said il he
went alone his father would allow him upon
his return to live with her. If he remained in
England his father would have nothing to do
with him. DunlO left immediately. Shortly
after Wertheimer's return from America she
went to live with him In his house. He never
slept in the house during the time she was liv-
| ing in it. She asserted that the detectiye's
story about their struggle near a window was
untrue. She told Wertheimer not to enter the
house alone, she was being watched Wer-
theimer never kissed her after her marriage,
but did once before 1t, and that was on his de-
parture for America.
A young fellow sitting in the rear of the
court room snickered at this admission and was
summarily elected. Judge Harmer remarking
with an angry look that he would not allow any
expression OF feeling among spectators, who
were mostly girls and women. They became
quieter after this reprimand Lady Dunlo said
she never loved Wertheimer, who she claimed.
adored her. Sir Charles Russell failed to elicit
anything remarkable in the crosse Examination.
The fair witness denied that while Weston was
in Jail she rapidly grew more intimate with
Wertheimer. She related how they went to
Trouviile and Paris together. She did not give
her name at the former place, where they had
their meals together. She said that they did
not occupy the same room, but admitted that
their apartments communicated with each
other. The maid. she added, used to leave the
connecting door open, and she often locked it.
On returning to London she continued to &C
company Wertheimer from place to place, but
did not live under the same roof.
