Pans, Nov. S-The final word to-
day III the divorce proceedings brought
by the Countess de Castellane against
her husband was Maitre Bonnet's as
surance OF Count Bonis undying af
lection for his wife and the demand
that the case be adjourned for a fort
night in cider to give the countess an
cDpor, unity to reflect upon the ad
visibility IF reconciliation. This the
court refused and adjourned for one
week, when it's decision, either the Or
dering OF an inquiry or the granting
CT divorce, will be handed down
Today's proceedings We're confined
largely to the tits between opposing
counsel over the charges made yes
terday against Edmond Kelly, of coun-
sci for the countess. Mr.. Kelly has
denied these charges Indignantly ana
makes the counter charge that the
count himself Matched up a conspiracy
for the purpose of making his wife be-
lieve that he, Kelly, had organized
plot to bring about the counts polit-
ical destruction. The argument in the
creditors case opened by Matrie Mil
lerand, who claimed that the lions
share OF the money involved was ow-
ing to tradesmen. 1t is stated on
authority that this claim will be con-
tested by the countess attorneys who
are said to be settling all legitimate
bills
When the hearing Of the case was
resumed today the counts attorney.
Maitre Bonnet, concluded the argu-
ment He criticised Edmund Kelly,
the American lawyer of the countess,
and persisted In his demand for the
examination Of witnesses to probe the
case to the bottom, and asked in the

| Maitre Cruppi, for the countess, in
reply charged the counts lawyer with
seeking to divert attention from the
issue at bar by making an I'M
precedented and baseless attack on
Mr.. Kelly. who, counsel declared, en-
joyed standing in the United States
and France which made his defense
superfluous, he having been counsel
for the American embassy in Paris
for the past twenty years. Maitre
Cruppi read letter from Mr.. Kelly,
denying the charges made against him
and said that unless the persons named
were introduced by the counsel for
the count, he would never know the
people he is charged with having been
bribed. He declared the documents to
be forged. by which, counsel charged

political ruin.
Two sharp pass ages between Maitres
Cruppi and Bon'n.t took place, one Of
them compelling the Intervention Of
Judge Ditto. Finally Maitre Bonnet
asked the court to postpone the cas-,
for a fortnight In the hope OF a recon
citation. but the Judge refused to d,
so, and adjourned the hearing for :
