thinks the announcement. which also
appeared In the Standard, may be a
hoax, for 1t says that by marrying
another woman the head of the noble
house would render himself liable to
imprisonment for bigamy on his return
TO England. The marital trouble of the
Russells comenced in the courts in 1891,
when the countess. who is daughter
of the well-known Lady Scott, applied
for separation from her husband on
the ground OF cruelty, which was re-
fused. -Four years later the same pc
tition resulted In the defendant not be-
ing granted judicial separation, but
further litigation and cross petitions
followed, and the litigation ended by
the court of appeals refusing relief to
both parties. so they are still legally
married.
