Shooting Boast

"The attitude in which they
were made apparently was in an
attempt to bring about recon
ciliation. Quite recently the
countess was approached by
someone abroad who wanted to
act as an intermediary"
Sir Patrick said the count
''boasted of his shooting proves
with a revolver and said he coulo
shoot through his pocket more
quickly than anyone could raise q
hand against him"
Sometimes he was in tears; at
other times he made large ii.
nancial claims as a condition
for leaving his wife. He told Mr..
Mitchell in Paris that he was 60
ing to England to fight a duel
with a man about whom he had
been raving. He said if he were
not allowed to fight the duel, he
would shoot the man and put his
wife on the spot"

AS Mitchell completed the sen
tence, Count Court. turned and
looked at his wife. but quickly
turned away when he caught her
eye.
Il said if this was a reference
to suicide, we should go to some
place brighter" Mitchell went
on. "He said: DO you think I
am such a fool as not to have
thought it out from all angles?
Everyone will know Barbara
drove me to it,"
ITO what?" Sir Patrick inquired.
IF he blew his brains out"
Mitchell clarified. "He said the
tragedy of it would haunt his
wife all her life; nobody would
speak to her again."

SuperbLy Dressed

Barbara was superbly dressed,
with blue fox furs around her
shoulders, a pleated silk skirt, a
big black picture hat decorated
with two diamond pins, black
suede gloves and black shoes.
Mitchell, called to the stand,

Regents Park on June 2 and Gin

Later the count saw him at a

His attitude towards his wife
on that occasion was a very
mixed one" said Mitchell. cat

While Barbara and the count
looked on with no apparent signs
Of excitement, there was a brief

for the count. Birkett interrupted
Sir Patrick with the hope that he
was prepared to prove all the

IT am not opening with any
thing I will not prove to the

Kidnap Scare

''The next morning, when Mr..
