Unsavory Developments of the Dunlo
Divorce Scandal.

LONDON, July 2s.-The Dunlo divorce
case was resumed to-day, but little new
evidence of interest was brought out. Fol
lowing is the history of the marriage of
Dunlo, us shown by the evidence so far
taken.
Belle Billion met Lord Dunlo at the Corin-
THAN Club, an institution for the purpose
Of bringing together the feminine swells of
the demi monde and the masculine swells
Of the haut monde forrevels that last until
later than early morning and are not always
concluded at the club house. She had
then in her train rich young Jew, Isidor
Wertheimer by name, who at present fig
ures as correspondent in Dunlo's suit for
divorce. Although during his acquaint-
ance with her, Belle Billion had been de-
livered of an illegitimate child whose
father was then in prison for fraud, Vert
heimer desired 10 marry her and pressed
his suit with ardor He would perhaps
have succeeded had not the young lord ap-
peared upon the scene and had not Belle
known the value of title.
Dunlo's career is less varied and pictur-
esuue. At the time he met the present Lady
Dunlo in May of last year he was n beard
less boy of 20, Just out of college, and pos
sessed Of even less than the average amount
of brains allotted to the present generation
of English hereditary noblemen. He is
the only son of Richard Somerset Lepoker
Trench. fourth Earl of Clancarty and Mar
ouis Of Hersden, and will probably sue
ceed to his fathers title and seat IN the
House of Lords very soon, for the Lord is
in very bad health. Clancartys own char
acter is not of the highest moral tone. He
admitted upon the witness stand that he
sent his son abroad few days after his
marriage to Belle BiltOn leaving her with
out money or means of support In order
that necessity might drive her back to her
former mode of life and make it easy for
Dunlo to procure divorce upon his re
turn.
ANOTHER CHOICE AHsToCRAT,
who figures in the case, is Marmaduke
Wood. a gentleman of fortune, and an offi-
Ger in the SOmersetshire regiment, who
drives a four-in-hand, wears purple and hne
linen and fares Sumptuously every day.
This person Dragged so persistently IN
clubs and public places Of having been IN
innate with Belle Billion that he managed
10 get himself called as witness 10 tes-
tifv thereto and depOscd that he, Lord
Dunlo and Lord Albert Osborne had tossed
up coin TO see which one of the three
should marry the beauty. II IS pleasing TO
know that Mr. Wood will be expelled from
his clubs and sent 10 Coventry Tor his
blackguardly conduct and that he will
probably be compelled to leave the country
in which case he may do America the
honor of avisit.
Lower in the social scale, If not in the
moral scale, are Lumsden, u music hall
agent and ex-minstrel; the Clarks, father
aud sou. detectives, and Charles Num- and
Jacob Baltimore, who had been formerly
Wertheimer's coachman and valet Lums-
den testified against Lady Dunlo because
she had once refused to pay his board when
he was hard up in a town where she was
singing. Num- told Of love scenes he had
witnessed furtively from the trap in
hanson. while driving his master and Belle
Billion to St Johns Wood because Wer-
theimer had once struck him for being i'm
pertinent: aud Baltimore told all he knew
that tended to prejudice the case against
Lady Dunlo because Wertheimer dis
charged him for stealing coat. AS for
the Clarks. they had between them dogged
the steps OF Wertheimer and Lady Dunlo
al the instigation Of Earl Clancarty every
hour Of the day and night that the young
people were outside of the house in st.
Johns Wood for more than six months.
