CASTELLANE
STILL SEEKING
RECONCILIATION

Paris, Nov. 2-In spite OF the reiterated
statements made Wednesday by Maitfe
Cruppi In tho opening address o. the trla!
of the divorce case OF the Countess le
Castellane (who was Anna Gould OF New
York; that there was not the faintest
possibility OF a reconciliation, II is by no
means certain that the count has COM
means certain that the count has com
pletely abandoned hope of such an out
come.
His entire conduct since the suit for di-
vorce began would appear 10 be based
upon the belief that his wife, who for 10
years submitted TO so many indignities,
must yield in the end. This theory will
explain the counts refusal OF liberal Of
feTs OF life Income, and it Is now dis
closed that the count never ceased writ
ing love letters to his wife, In which he
begged for a reconciliation. and In which
he mathematical the American lawyers,
under whose influence, he charged, she
was acting.
Friends OF Count Boni say he was dunn
founded 10 learn that the countess had
allowed the presentation yesterday OF
detailed case. lie was so confident that
his wife would surrender that he did not
prepare line OF defence and IL was only
yesterday that the documents which, un-
der French law must be exchanged were
transferred to counsel for the opposition.
These papers amount in the main 10 let.
ters written 10 Count Boni by MS wife
and which show the contempt In which
she held her husband. These letters prob
ably will necessitate the production or the
letters which provoked them.
IL seems certain that Count Bonis de-
fence to the chardge OF infidelity sgill be
"unproven" and that he consequently
will demand an injury and the production
OF witnesses for the purpose of proloug-
ing the case. his idea being to accomplish
a reconciliation This would open a road
TO extricate the count from the money
difficulties with which he is beset
The calling OF witnesses is what the at
torneys for the countess are particularly
anxious 10 avoid, as so doing would drag

lar with current gossip. II an inquiry can

Re rendered before Nov. q.
Maitre Crupp expects TO speak for al.
hour and a half next Wednesday and the
remainder OF that session OF the court
will be given 10 Maitre Bonnet OF coun-
sci for the count. The court will then
adjourn for a week in order TO give the
public prosecutor, who under the French
law represents the interests OF the coh-
munity and the state in divorce cases, an
opportunity TO present his conclusions
After this thAre will be delay Of another
week. while the judges prepare their deci-
sion.
The reports that the husbands OF two
of the women who were referred TO yes
terday by Maitre Cruppi have challenged
Count Boni to duels are quite without
confirmation and all inquiries made in the
matter lead 10 the belief that they are
untrue.
