have bis three children by his former
his mother, the Marauisc de Castellane,
and for an allowance Of 100000 year,
was resumed to-day
Maitre Lucien Juilomier, speaking on be-
half of the Primo, and Princess dc Sagan,
said Count Boni took this action to secure
possession OF the children only as q con-
tinuation Of his policy, not to hesitate at
anything to destroy tho marriage OF the
Prince de Sagan and Nnna Gould. The
Prince argued NJ. Jniiemier, was more
At in every way and manner TO be
the husband OF Anna Gould than Cunt
Boni
One instance Of the superiority Of Prince
de Sagan was his education. This was
shown by the fact that though his mis-
tresses were named by Count Boni's coun-
sci last week. he had instructed NJ. julie
nier to refrain from mentioning the
mattresses OF Count Boni de Castellane.
NJ. Jullemier, continuing. argued that
though the Prince de Sagan was the poorer
he had always paid his debts and always
acted as gentleman, whereas Count Boni
always acted in the contrary way. He
then read many letters received by the
Prince de Sagan from French aristoorats
as proof that they still recognized him as
one OF their set
NJ. Jullemier went on to speak Of De
Sagan's fitness to fight a duel which
Count Boni de Castellane questioned after
they had cane fight in the streets of
Paris As an instance OF De Sagan's
capacity for the slft Of duelling NJ. julie
mier recalled his duel with Prince Stourdza
in 1902. Count Boni de Castellane con-
graduated the Prince after the fight in a
letter.
1t was stated. continued NJ. Jullemier,
that De Sagan informed only the Berlin
court of the approach of his wedding to
Anna Gould. Jullemier regretted that
it was. not possible to ask the Kaiser to
come to Paris to testify that such was
not the truth. "Yes.' continued M. julie
mier, under the present circumstances
regulating the utterances of the Kaiser.
he could not without disappointing his
German subjects tell whether it was true
or false
The Prince aud Princess de Sagan
lived at Chantilly after their wedding,
Jullemier declared, because they we're
too poor to live at the Chateau Marais
just then. The reason why the tutor to
the children left was because the regula-
tions of the Catholic Church forbade him
to live under the roof OF Q heretic.
De Sagan. went on Jullemier. did not
belong to any club because he was too
poor to pay the subscription fees; but
he ,,,hortfal ha ;,r,
paid some s2.OoO.O0o in debts.
NJ. Jullemier concluded his testimony
for the Prince de Sagan by saying that he
never attacked the private life OF Count
Boni de Castcllane. He did not do this,
the counsel. because -the Prince
dc Sagan realizes every day the inn
of the happiness that Count |
Boni lost by his own initiative
Maitre r. Rousset, representing George
Gould. the brotheEsof Anna Gould, said
that the case was merely an attempt
on the part Of Count Boni to extort more
money from Anna Gould. George Gould.
NJ. Rousset. hopes that the Court
will leave the children with his sister. since
has happened since the marriage OF
Anna Gould to the Prince de Sagan to cause
the courts Of justice to change the de-
cision. to leaye the children under the care
Of Anna. rendered at the time Of her divorce
from Count Boni de Castellane Should
the house and surroundings Of Prince de
Sagan become the centre Of any scandal
George Gould himself would ask the
Court TO remove his nephews from such
influences.
NJ. Rousset then continued his argu-
ment for Anna Gould. He aid that ii
was her desire to avoid all scandal. Ifthis
could be done by granting Count Boni
money she was willing 10 do il. NJ.
Rousset tited as an example Of her sin
cerity in endeavoring to avoid scnadal
her offer to grant him 81 OOO, 900 in add-
ton to the $l50.0O0 paid to Count Boni
under the separation ruling Count Boni
refused this. holding that it was INSULT
cient. Count Boni, said Rousset. was
willing to leave the children with Anna
if she separated from the Prince de Sagan.

NJ. Roussel then made some very
