Ii Is Thought He Will Seek Liberty By Writ

 The case of Thomas Collins will come up before Judge Sharpe Monday morning. The evidence adduced in the preliminary hear ing will be introduced. It is said Collins is very hopeful of being released on bond.

COUNT cAsTELLANE's DUEL.
circumstances which Led to the En-
counter.


The Morning News cable dispatches Of
Tuesday reported a duel at Paris between
Count Boniface de Castellane the aus
band of Anna Gould of New York, and
tho editor of one of the yellow Journals
of the French capital. The New York
Heralds Paris cable gives fuller details
of the affair and the causes which ed
up to 1t, as follows:
Paris has been shocked by an occur
renee which in itself was horrible enough
and which, through the way in which the
yellow Journals-for America has not q
monopoly of this bsne-have handled 1t,
has been ma de a sensational crime.
Indirectly ii Is interesting to Americans,
as Comte Bonlface de Castellane has been
dragged into it. A dry nurse in the com
tesses service has been arrested. The
crime she is charged with is the suppress
ion al birth of twins, a boy and girl.
At first it was feared that the mother
had murdered the infants. The post-mor-
TEN examination, however, disclosed that
they were stillborn. and the horrible fea-
ture is that in desiring to get rid of them
the mother threw them into the garden Of
a private residence in the Rue de lUnl-
verste where they were half devoured
by a cog that roams about the garden loose
at night.
The circumstances, as related by the FL
caro- stripped of details, are as follows:
There is a private hotel belonging to
Nine. de Navenne, No. III Due de fUni-
verslte 1t stands In the middle of large
grounds, where the vegetation has grown
thckly, as the proprietor no longer lives
in Paris.
In order to protect the place the care
taker, Louis has a feroctous dog, Whlch
he unchains at night.
IN went
near the kennel, as usual to chain up the
animal, he was received with savage
growl. At the same moment human
head rolled at his feet.
The caretaker at once went In search of
the police and an examination of the
grounds brought TO light the remains OF
new born girl and boy.
The police finally got clew to the prob
able author of The crime. Suspicion point
ed to a woman named Marie Laurey, the
wife of an agriculturlst who lives at Jou-
ray. This woman Is in the service of the
Comtesse Castellane as nurse, When
brought before the commissary of police
and accused of the crime she confessed
that she had been unfathful to her hus-
band and that she had given birth to twin
babies, the father being a fellow servant.
In order to keep her infidelity from her
husband she had thrown the infants into
the garden of Nine de Navenne's hotel
AS said, the medical examination prov
ed the children We're stlllborn, so the
graver accusation of murder was with
drawn, but the woman was imprisoned,
charged with suppressing the fact of birth.
A later development of the affair is that
the Petite Republique, one of the gutter
papers here, used the crime as a peg on
which to hang a series of charges against
Comte Boniface de Castellane.
These details interest nobody. Instead,
ticle over to the police, Comte Castallane
had challenged him to a duel.

growth, but otherwise is in a vigorous.
healthy condition. 1t Is infested with lice
in Orangeburg Sumter Clarendon. Bam-
berg, Barnwell, where in spots il is dy-
ing, Rlchland where lice are more numer-
Gus than ever before observed, and in por-
tons OF several other counties Cotton
fields are generally well cultivated, ex-
cept that clay soils are too dry and hard
10 work, and that in upper Berkeley and
portions of Williamsburg counties II was
too wet during May, but Is all right now.
Cotton is putting on squares rapidly
