Counsel in Long AddressDivorce Decree , Prayed For. ' ' - Paris, France. The Castellans di vorce case was heard "before M. Henry .Ditte. president of the . Tri bunal of First Instance of the Seine. Neither the count nor counfess, formerly- Anna Gould, daughter of Jay Gould; of New York City, "was pres ent. , ' Maitre Cruppi,. for the countess, pleaded for a divorce upon the docu mentary evidence submitted, and told a 'complete and pitiful story of the wreck of her married life. In an 'extended review , counsel, de clared that the countess at the be ginning of the suit was not acting under influence, but solely for the purpose of ending forever the peril of the moral desolation of her house hold. He explained the marriage contract, by which the regime of separation of property was estab lished, from the very beginning, and stated that domestic difficulties arose over the question of money. Ill treatment soon followed, the? count even striking the plaintiff be fore the servants.. When he reached the question of the infidelity charged against the count, Maitre Oruppi did not mention names or even initials, designating the corespondents as "Mme'. A," "Mme. B," and so on. Maitre Cruppi asked that the countess be given the custody of her threa children. The courtroom was -crowded, 'among those present being many members of the American colony. The early troubles of the countess married life were due primarily to the count's inordinate extravagance, the lawyer declared. . Even in spite of their domestic infelicity the count ess was too good and scrupulous to begin an action for divorce until she possessed full proof. Anna Gould was only twenty years old when she was married in 1895 in New York City to Count Boni de-Cas-teltane, and, Maitre Cruppi asserted, the happiness of the honeymoon was disturbed on their arrival in Paris bv the count's demands for money. The countess' income was then $700,- 000 and the count allowed her $80 pin money. In the face of the overwhelming evidence submitted, Maitre Cruppi declared, his opopnent could not ex pect the tribunal to ask for the sum moning of witnesses, and added: "Does he imagine by dragging out the case to obtain forgiveness? No No! Count Boni's plan to reconquer his wife's affections is too xtranspar- ent!" ' The final rupture came the day after the famous entertainment of King Charles of Portugal, December 12, 1905. -The count insisted that they, the count and countess, go to a shoot ing party given by a noblewoman of whom the countess had cause to com plain. When the count became en raged at the countess' refusal she abruptly arinounced her intention to separate from him and began legal proceedings. Counsel placed at $8,000,000 the total or the count's expenaitures pre ceding the appointment of a trustee Maitre Cruppi asked that the cus tody of her three children be given to the countess.
