COUNT BONI BEGGING
FOR RECONCILIATION
Addressed Ardent Letters His Wife Beseecins Her For
giveness--She Remained Firm and Continues
to Press the Suit for Divorce.

Paris, November 1.-THE court room
Tribunal of first instance of the Seine,
Judge Ditto, presiding, was again
crowded to the doors this morning
when the hearing of the divorce suit
brought by the Countess de Castellane
formerly Anna Could against her
husband, Count Boni, was resumed
Maitre Cruppi, of counsel for the
countess, in resuming the presenta-
ton Of her case, briefly reviewed the
points he had covered last week, and
declared that the proofs OF the counts
infidelity and cruelty contained in the
thirteen allegations made last week
were sufficient to justify divorce
without summoning witnesses.
Maitre Cruppi then plunged directly
into the counts manouvres, since the
divorce proceedings were instituted to
re-conquer his wife's affections.
After the failure OF the attempt at
arranging a reconciliation, February
1st, when the countess was granted the
temporary charge of her children,
Count BOni began systematic cam
paign, writing to the countess letters
filled with avowals Of sincere repen-
tence, supplications for pardon, pas
sionate words and professions of un-
dying love. The counts letters de-
scribed his life as being wrecked, and
said he was unable to live without her.
"You have been my life he declar-
ed in one Of his letters, your absence
will be my death Take me back once
more. I will live only for you. Let
me embrace you and once more feel
you in my arms and so ON.
On February 25th the countess sent
cold rejoinder, informing the count
that she had suffered 700 much and
had lost all her affectieefor hit11;- and
all confidence in his honor and verac-
ity, concluding with the statement that
she found him "disgusting."
The counts tone changed. The next
day he sent the countess the letter in
which he upbraided her for being a
mad woman" actuated by hate and
vengefulness, and that their children
would some day reproach her for
"spitefulness.'
But the count soon resumed writing
love letters to the countess, begging
to be allowed to see her and predict
ing that he would soon.
The letters continued until the mid
die of September, when the count
wrote that he would not long survive,
pleading to see the countess and ask
ing her to at least grant him supreme
favor, saying:
eff am in danger come. Do not let
me die alone like an abandoned dog"
1t was then. said Matre Cuppi, that
