Paris, November 1.-In spite of reiterat- ed statements made yesterday by Maitre Cruppi in the opening address of the plea in the case of the Countess de Cas- tellane for divorce from her husband Count Boni de Castelane, that there was not the faintest possibility of q reconcilia- tlon it is by no means certain that the count has abandoned hope of such an outcome.
 His entire conduct since the suit for di- vorce began would appear to be based upon the belief that his wife. who for ten years submitted to so many indignl- ties, must yield in the end. This theory will explain the counts refusal of liberal offers of life income and it Is disclosed that the count never ceased writing love letters to his wife in which he begged for reconciliation, and in which he anatne- matzed the American lawyers, under whose influence, he charged, she was act n

Court Was Dumfounded.

Friends of Count Bonl say he was dunfounded to learn that the countess had allowed the presentation yesterday of a detailed case. lie was so confident that his wife would surrender that he did not prepare line of defense, and that 1t was only today that the documents which under French law, must be exchanged were transferred to counsel for the oppo- sition. These papers amount in the main to letters written to Count Boni by his wife and which show the contempt m which she held her husband. These letters probably will necessitate the production of the letters which provoked them
 It seems certain today that Count Boni's defense to the charge of infidelity will be "unproyen, and that he consequently will demand an inquiry and the produc- ton of witnesses for the purpose of pro- longing the case his idea being to accom- plish d reconciliation. This would open q road to extricate the count from the money difficulties with which he is beset
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-11-02

B.. Mime. C.. and Mine. D. except to those persons familiar with current gossip.
 If an inquiry can be avoided the de- cision probably will not be rendered before November 21
 Maitre Cruppi expects to speak for an hour and d half next Wednesday, and the remainder of that session of the court will be given to Maitre Bennett, Of coun- sel for the count.
 The court will be then adjourned for week. in order to give the public prose- cutor who under the French law repre- sents the interests of the community and the state in divorce cases, an opportunity to present his conclusions. After this, there will be delay of another week while the judges prepare their decision
 The reports that the husbands or two of the women who were referred To yes terday by Maitre Cruppi have challenged Count Boni to duels. are without eon- firination and all inquiries made in The matter lead to the belief that they are untrue.
