DUCHESSE De TALLEYRAND
WlTHDRAWS HER DEFENCE
New Turn Given to Annulment
Proceedings Before Rota
Tribunal in Rome.
tRv Cable 10 Tho Tribune ]

Rome, May s-The Duchesse de Tai
leyrand, formerly Miss Anna Gould, has
notified the president of the Tribunal OF
the defence entered by her in the matri-
monial annulment case brought by Comte
Boni de Castellane.
Comte Boni de Castellane was divorced
in the French courts in October. 1896.
and his former wife married the Prince
de Sagan. who afterward became the
Due de Talleyrand. The count obtained
decree for the annulment of the
marriage In January last from the
Rota in Rome. but it appeared that his
former wife had appealed and the case
therefore was reopened. in her obJec-
ten the ytrmer countess declared that
the letter citing her 20 give evidence
had not reached her. She also objected
to the allegation which was the basis
of her former husbands petition. She
declared positively that she gave her
free. full and unqualified consent al the
time OF her marriage in the Catholic
Church. and that therefore there could
ue 10 SIpullu LOT utSIdflilb ncl maj iooS
with the count null In canon law.
De Castellane had contended through
two witnesses that before her marriage
Miss Gould was heard 10 say that she
would apply for a divorce If ever she
should think herself justified in so do
ing. This was interpreted as an abso-
lutte lack of consent on her part to the
Catholic and canonical marriage and was
the ground on which de Castellane based
his petition.
