OVER sMIRcHED HONOR AS
sEssED AT 90 CENTS

PARIS, Jan. 21.-Count Boni de
Castellane, divorced husband OF Nine
Anna Gould, appeared in the Paris
criminal court today to answer to a
charge of assault preferred by his
cousin Prince Halle de Sagan. The
latter asks one franc as damages.
Count Jeane de Casterane, brother
of Boni, who is alleged to have par
ticipated in the assault on the
prince, is not named in the suit.
Count Boni will urge in defense
that the prince gravely insulted
him in church and that as de
Sagan is mot gentleman" and
therefore beyond the reach OF the
code of honor, he was forced to
seek redress by splitting in his face
and administering a public thresh-
ing.
Both the prince and the count de-
nv that Nine. Anna Gould was the
cause of their quarrel. Prince de
sagan has been very alternative 70
Nine. Gould of late and 1t has been
reported that they would be mar
ried in the near future. Many be-
aroused the wrath Of the count
against his cousin. The prince, was
, painfully but not seriously injured
in the attack made upon him by the
de Castellane brothers.
