LADY DUNLOs VICTORY.
Verdict for the Respondent in the Fa.
NOUS Divorce SUIT.

Mr. Gill. in his effort in behalf Of werthsimer,
the correspondent in the Dunlo divorce suit,
called attention yesterday to the absolutely
feeble and futile efforts of Lord Dunlos attor.
neys to associate his client with any discredit-
able act in relation to either Lord or Lady
Dunlo. He pointed out the injustice Of includ-
ing his client in the srit, drew 0 not unattract.
i've picture Of the platonic freside with wer-
theimer and Belle Billion gathered about II,
cooling and yearning, but in no sense shining.
Then he showed the ruthless ending Of this
pure dream OF Wertheimer's by the marriage
Of Belle to Lord Dunlo, quoting the now popu-
lar remark Of Wertheimcr: Admiration does
not fully describe my feeling for her,"
Sir Charles Russell, for Lord Dunlo, spoke
three CHARTERS of an hour, but his Grafton was

At th6 sanle time pitiless and Notifying.
IN defense OF the severely criticised action
OF tho Earl of Ciancarty. Sir Charles claimed
that he did not learn the marriage was valid
until after his son had sailed, and he further
contrnded that the earl in having Lady Dunlo
watched after the lords departure had done
nothing discreditable. for 1t was only reason
able to suppose in tho light of the evidence
they had listened to that undue intimacy had
existed between Lady Dunlo and Wertheimer.
Lord Dunlo was sitting near his attorney and
it was noticed that he bent his head and smiled
when he heard his own counsel describe him az
being without any high intellectual attain
ments. All through the action Lord Dunlo has
viewed the proceedings with an Indifferent air,
and even at this stage Of the proceedings did
not exhibit much anxiety as to the result Of the
trial. This goes far toward confirming the
opinion that he is mere puppet in tho hands
OF an angry father.
THE JUpaEs CHARGE
Judge Hammer, at the conclusion Of Sir
Charles speech, began his charge to the Jury,
and 1t clearly leaned toward Lady Dunlo. The
judge charged that Lady Dunlo's letters to her
husband were creditable to her and were per-
fectly natural in every respect He cast no re-
hection on the Earl OF Clancarty for sending his
son away, but said it was serious matter that
Lady Dunlo should have been deprived Of the
protection and society Of her husband immsdi-
ately after her marriage to him.
The jury then retired and after Q short Alb
sence brought in . verdict for Lady Dunlo, with
costs.
Flo. Billion Seymour. sister Of Lady Dunlo, en-
tered tho court room attired in such startling
costume as to create a sensation and attract
the attention of the whole audience. Fio.s
costumes have been q feature Of the trial, and
quito q radiant one. In this she has been in
AON SVhtAaSs Luuy DuulO, WHO has
worn the same dress, q sober gray without
much trimming and made very plainly.
During counsePs closing speech and the
judges charge Lady Dunlo sat toying with her
lace handkerchief, with very demure look On
her face and an expression OF confidence that
even inspired the Onlooker with feeling that
she would come out OF the trial victorious.
When Lady Dunlo and her party got into
the street they were loudly cheered, and sur
rounded by the crowd Of chance admirers the
party proceeded to the Cafe Royal, where they
dined. the observed OF every one. Lady Dunlo's
triumph 10 well received and the general opin-
ion is that no other verdict could have been
given.
SISTER FLO TO s1So IN THIS COUNTRY.
Belle Billions sister Flo. will be a sensational
figure in American variety theaters this season.
Pat Reilly, who has made a great deal of money
as vaudeville manager, hired her during his
recent visit to London, and the sister Law
of Viscount Dunlo will exhibit herself in the
New York BOwery and throughout the country
generally. Reilly says he engaged her upon
her merits as a singer and not for the sake Of
her relatives notoriety.
