ANOTHER WEEK
GRANTED BONI
Greedy Frenchman Has Seven
Days in Which to Smooth
Things Over.
ARGUMENT is CONCLUDED
COURT TAKES UP CASES OF
CREDITORS.

Paris. Nov. S.-The hearing of the
Castellane divorce suit was resumed
before Judge Ditto in the palace of JUS
tice this morning.
Maitre Bonnet of counsel for Count
Boni De Castellane. consumed less than
an hour in concluding his argument for
the count. He continued his criticisms
of Edmund Kelly. the American law
yer of the countess, and persisted in
his demand for an examination of the
witnesses in order, he said, TO permit
of the case being probed TO the bot
tom.
Counsel added that in the event OF q
divorce being granted the count will
ask for permission to see his children
two days each week and a month IN
summer and that the countess be en-
Joined from taking the children to
America without his consent. So FAR as
money was concerned, nothing would
be much altered by a divorce.
Ruin for the Count.
II would only mean final financial
ruin for the count 1t was impossible
for him to meet his outstanding obi
cations, amounting to $4,000 year
The remainder of his ancestral inheri-
-tanCe would have to be sold. If his
wife desired to present him i'm such
light before the world he had nothing
more to say. Nevertheless, it seemed
only Just that he should be reimbursed
the $4,000 which he obtained by thu
sale of his share of the ancestral forest
OF Bueny and which was contributed
TO the household expenses.
Counsel concluded with asserting thai
he was convinced that the countess, i
free to obey the dictates of her con
science. would yet consent to recon
ciliation and solemnly assured the cour
of the counts respect, esteem and I'M
dying affection for his wife.
Attack on Kelly Baseless.
Maitre Cruppi, for the countess, il
reply charged the counts lawyer will
seeking to divert attention from III
issue at the bar by making an UMPIRE
cedented and baseless attack on MI
Kelly, who counsel declared, enjoye'
standing in the United States, an
France, which made his defense super
fluous, he having been counsel for tn
American embassy in Paris for tn
past twenty years.
Maitre Cruppi read a letter from Nj
Kelly denying the charges mad
against him, and said that unless tn
counsel of the count ne would neve
know the people he had charged wit
having been bribed He declared tn
documents to be forged, by which coun
sci charged. the cOun1 in July attempt
ed to, convince his wife that Mr.. Kell
was concerned in a plot to accOmpliS
his political Tul.
