DIVORCED FROM WIFE, DE CASTELLANE LOSES THE GOULD MILLIONS The Decree of the Court i Sweeping Victory for the Countess SUDDEN END IP CASE RESENTED BY MORBID Women Had Climbed Upon the Harks of Chairs, Straining Their Kara to Catch the Decision, and When They Became Aware That a Divorce Was tJranted, Keen Disappointment Was Shown That Then- Was to Re No Public Trial in Which Members of Mie Gallic Aristocracy Would He Compelled to Testify The Countess is Grant ed Custody of Her Children Though the Count is Allowed to See Them ut Stated Intervals He is Taxed With the Costs of the Proceedings. (By the Associated Press.) Paris, Nov. 14. The tribunal of llrst instance ot the Seine, Judge Ditte pre siding at noon today granted a divorce to the Countess De Castellane (former ly Anna Gould of New York) and gave her the custody of her children, who, however, will not be allowed to be taken from France without the consent of their father, Count Bonl I)e Castellane. The end of the famous case came suddenly. The court brushed aside the demand of the count's lawyers for an examination of witnesses; and, as an ticipated, the public prosecutor did not even ask to bo heard. As soon aB the court assembled Judge Ditte handed down the judgment which is a weeping victory. In granting her petition for divorce the court gave the countess the cutsody of her children, the count being allowed only the usual lights to sec them and share in the control of their education, which was nut contested. The count is given the right to see the children at stated periods at the home of their grandmother and keep hem a month annually during the hol idays. The count's demand for an "alimen tary allowance of $50,000 annually" was pronounced by the court to bo without foundation In law and was rejected. The only point decided in the count's favor was the imposition of the Inhi bition on the countess to make the chil dren out of France williout their fa ther's consent. The court appointed the president of the chamber Of notaries to liquidate the affairs of the husband and wife. The judgment was given with costs against the count. The decree, the reading of which hardly consumed five minutes, was delivered by the judge'in a voice so low to be practically Inaud ible to the crowd filling the court room Many Women climbed the chairs in vain efforts to hear the decision, and when they were aware that a divorce was granted they seemed actually to resent the loss of a public trial .it which people in high society would be compelled to testify. Degrading Career of the Duke. Stripped of textual verbiage, formal counts upon which the attorneys of the Countess De Castellane asked for a di vorce Were as follows: 1. Soon after his marriage Count De Castellane began the purchase of fur niture at ridiculously exorbitant prices and immediately resold if. When the plaintiff protested khe count abused her in the presehce of servants. 2. Upon the slightest pretexts Count De Castellane created scenes, going to the extent of striking the plaintiff. In the course of one of those scenes, dur ing the autumn of 1895, the countess was brutally pinched by her husband and the next day while she was still suffering from his violence, she reveal ed fact to an American friend, who was a guest at the chateau, x 3. During the summer of 1898 and notably during a pleasure trip which the Count De Castellane took the count was Intimate with a married woman, "Mme. A." 4. The count maintained a corre spondence with "Mme. A'" fixing the dales for rendezvous, through the in termediary of "Mme. X," and "M. N," in the Rue De Maubeuge. 5. During the suirimer of 1895 Count De Castellane had intimate relations with "Mme. B." He had .many meet ings with her, principally at the pavil ion of St. James. 6. During June, 1905, a lady entered the Count De Castellane's automobile, dined with him at Vllle D'Avray, and both later went to the pavilion of St. James, where they sDent two, hours. 7. During the same year, 1905, Count De Castellane was intimate with a wo man who lived In a furnished room house In the Rue Castlgllone. 8. In 1905 the Count De Castellane was Intimate with "Mme. C," which Involved Indiscretion, repeated ren dezvous and automobile excursions, ob jects forgotten in an automobile and found by two domestics making al most public scandals. Count De Cas tellane went frequently with this lady to an apartment which he maintained at Neulily. 9. In June 1905 at the end of a big reception at the mansion on the Aven ue Malakoff, Count De Castellane and "Mme C" were found an hour after alone In the garden and the count was compelled to summon aid for the opening of the gate. Tho servants who responded recognized "Mme C" who left the mansion hurriedly. 9 a. In the absence of her husband, and notably In tho course of a journey of "M. '.," "Mme C" received Count Do Castellane every day at her resi dence and upon bis arrival gave or ders to the servants to turn away further visitors, The Countess I); Castellane going one day to the resi dence of "Mme c" was told by the servants that "Mme O" was not at home, although at that time the count was on the premises. 9 b. Whic "M. C." was at Paris two maids of "Mme C" who were mounting guard to permit Count De Castellane to emerge by the back stair way In case of the arrival of the hus band, did in reality see him so de scend. 9 c. The servants of "Mme C" were not ignorant that their mistress met Count De Castellane, and one of them frequently sometimes three times a day, carried letters to the count. There were frequent scenes between "M and Mmme'C" on the subject of the count De Castellane. Intimacy With Madame D. 10 While the countess De Ca3tellane wan absent m 'America Count De Castellane was intimate with "Mme D." He dined with her in a private room at the Cafe Anglais and or dered orchids for the decoration of the table. 11. On May 11, 1904, while the Coun tess De Castellane was absent, Count De Castellane took "Madame D" to the Chateau Des Marmis. where he pass ed the afternoon with her. The Dens of a Voluptuary. 12. For several years Count De ('as tellane rented In Paris a number of j places for his rendezvous, in particular I No. 26 Rue Da Hochefoucuuld, where he was known under the name of "Pascal;" No. 16 Rue DeGeneral-Poy, the pavilion of St. James and No. 5 Rue Cave, at Neuilly. At these different ad dresses he received, to the knowledge of several of his servants and chauf feurs, the women with whom he was Intimate belonging to the monde and the deml monde classes. Here follows a long list of dates ex tending from the years 1901 to 1906. The text of the decree does not go into the details of the countess' bill of par ticulars." "inasmuch as Madame De Castellane submitted letters and docu- ments, several of which were from tho I count himself, establishing sufficiently that since their marriage, notably In 189S, 1902 and 1905 he had relations and correspondence with various wbmen of easy virtue, which was most offensive to a wife, thus rendering himself guilty of acts justifying a divorce, and as he had failed to establish a reconciliation the petition of Madame De Castellane Is granted." Boni's Wail for Gold Denied. The count's demand for an "alimen tary allowance of $50,000 annually" was denied on the ground that the guilty party In a divorce loses all the advan tages accorded either by a marriage contract or the course of married life and consequently the court refused to allow not only tho count's original claim for $50,000 per annum, but the $30,000 which the countess offered and which It now seems the count claimed to have accepted October 25. The court also took a precaution against any unreasonable attitude on the part of the count toward allowing his wife to take her children out' of France by providing that In case of his refusal judicial authorization could be granted. The decree orders . the countess to send the children on Thursdays and Sundays to their grandmother, the Marquise De Castellane, and their sur render to their father for a week at New Tear's and Easter and for a month In the summer.

An armed posse of officers and citizens is scour ing the surrounding country for the negro, said to be Will Harris, of Char lotte, who last night shot and killed Policemen Blackstock and Bailey, mortally wounded a negro named Neill and wounded Police Captain Page. There is talk of lynching if the fugi tive is captured. Mayor Bernard offered a reward of $500 for the capture of Harris, and this amount was quickly increased to $1,200 by private subscriptions. The list of Harris' victims was Increased by one today when the body of "Jocko" Williams, a familiar negro character, was found dead on Valley street with a bullet hole in his head. When the news of this discovery spread over the city Chief Bernard summoned the citizens to the public square by sounding a general fire alarm from headquarters.

Harris used probably a Mauser rifle or a Krag Jorgensen, an empty shell from the gun found this morning In dicating as much. The fight started when the patrol men answered a call that a negro was raising a Hough house. The negro came out of the house firing as he ran. He killed Blackstock on the spot and injured Pate. He ran toward the square and killed Addison. As be went he fired at every one in sight. On the square Bailey took Up posi tion behind a phone pole 12 inches in diameter and opened fire.
