BONI AFTER A DIVORCE

PARIS, Nov 1S.-It was said here
today that Count Boni de Castellane
had been in Rome for the last two
weeks trying to arrange for the papal
annulment of his marriage with Anna
Gould, now the Princess de Sagan.
Dean of Fec esiastical Advocates
Pucelli is acting as the counts in
termediary with the vatican, it is
said, and negotiations are proceeding
in strict secrecy.
This report, which reached Paris
through a private source, has created
the keenest interest within the limit
ed circle to which it has penetrated,
as it is assumed the count would not
seek a final dissolution of the tie with
his wife, whom he has pursued re-
lentlessly, unless he proposed to
marry again.
