COUNTESS RUssELpS SUIT.
Counsel for the Earl Charges That She is
Guilty of Blackmail.

LONDON. April 23.-The trial of the
action of Countess Russell. seeking resti-
tuition of her conjugal rights, of which
she was deprived by previous action for
divorce against her husband Carl Russell,
was resumed this mOrning The testl-
mony in the case having peen finished
counsel for the Countess began his adj
dress TO the jury. He argued that the
lady was entitled to ask for maintenance
as in her conduct in insisting that the
charges against her husband should be
cleared up she had been perfectly sin-
cere and actuated by motives Of good
faith.
Sir James Russell, on behalf OF Earl
Russell. contended that the Countess was
personally answerable for the foul sug-
eestions made against her husbands
character, and, therefore, not entitled TO
immunity for the consequences OF her
acts. upon the ground that she had
been ill-advised. He said further that II
was obvious that the Countess Is guilty
of blackmail in having written her hus-
band that she had in her possession
sworn afiidavits attesting his guilt OF
offences charged against him. This was a
menace, and obviously intended to force
the Earl to terms.
