DE SAGANS PUT
COUNT BONI ON
GRILL IN COURT
Counsel for Princess, Formerly
Anna Gould, Resists Suit
:"; for Boy's Custody
De Castellane Charged With
• Seeking to Raise Money and
'\u25a0 Satisfy Vengeance
Story of Extravagance, Imraor«
; ality and Forgery Presented
. :-. to Defeat Action
•.•.i'XillS. Dec. 2.^-The princess de Sa
fcan, u'ho was Miss Anna Gould of New
• York, had her innings in court today
in the\ hearing of the case brought by
her former husband. Count Boni de
Castellane, to have the three children
\u25a0 of- the. union placed In the custody of
his- mother, the marquise de Castellane.
The first' hearing took place last
•\veek and M. Bonnet, counsel for the
tount, set forth by statement, allega
tions and insinuation that the atmo
sphere of the De Sagan household was
. detrimental to the proper bringing up
of the three Castellane boys.
During the afternoon hundreds of
women, including some of the most
prominent members of French society
and the American and English colonies
in Paris, literally fought in the cor
• ridors of the palace of justice to gain
admission to the crowded courtroom,
• where, the side of the princess wai
• presented by M. Clemenceau.
Count's Character Scored
' .Without essaying the impassioned
. oratorical role played by M. Bonnet
. last week, Clemenceau coolly and clear
• ly, but with cutting irony and keen
'• ridicule, met the accusations brought
. ' against the princess de Sagan, whose
•character he insisted was blameless.
\u25a0 He mercilessly scored the record and
' -character of the count de Castellane
:: an<t-sa'id he was wholly unlit to have
l.ilie vustody of his children.
.Clemenceau charged that the real
; -purpose of the' count was to raise
-in'on-ey- and satisfy his vengeance on
\u25a0.-the prince and princess de .Sagan, even
•'<il the .expense of the interests of his
.children, whose minds he had contin
•Vuimsly" tried to poison. ,
V.\'.X«eJth:er prince de Sagan nor the
' 'count was present.
' ..':Cleine"nc6au emphasized the fact that
..the courts of France had decided that
.a', second marriage did not affect, the
/ tiifehtß .di parents with regard to their
; : children, even in cases where the sec
.: ond marriage was with the alleged ac
•\u25a0 complice in. adultery.
•: De Sagan's Name Forged
\u25a0 .'CI-einenceau announced that the prin
": ;ceW" formally joined with her husband
in. allegations against the count. These
\u25a0 deal with De Sagan's charges that the
: *-«un-t, tn ord.er to prevent the marriage
. of Mm«," Gould with the prince de
:• -:Sa.gah,- caused forged letters and docu
menis purnorting to have been signed
~\ by De Sagan to bo sent to lime. Gould.
: .: '. These papers consisted of usurer's
notes,- payable the day the prince was
•'\u25a0 married to Mine. Gould and three let- j
Liters 'alleged to have been written by
''. de' Sagan to his mistress in which he
• . xidiculed^ Mme. Gould and spoke in
"i" i scurrilous terms of her.
De Sagan offered to prove, with the
.co-cperatlon of his wife, that the count
'had. arranged through two women,
. called Mme. "G." and lime. "R," to
- have- these documents shown to Mme.
. Glould at her country residence.
'.' '"De Sagan, while not directly accus
• ing '\u25a0 the count of "forgery, offered to
' prove by experts that these documents
• were forged "by the same hand."
. Wife's Fortune Squandered
Counsel for the princess contended
tbat the testimony of the chauffeur dis
charged from the service of De Sagan
• and -the evidence of private detectives
\u25a0was utterly unworthy of credence, and
he raked the count fore and aft when
he reached the subject of the fashion
in which he had dissipated his wife's
• fortune, spending at the rate of J 1,000,
• 060 a year,Xor 11 years. \u25a0
..,. ~So long as this money was forth
co'mingr," M. Clemenceau said, **the
.- count considered his wife upright and
.% honorable."
.Clemencean pleaded that the boys be
• left under the affectionate care of their
mother.- where they could receive an
American education like the children of
•George J. Gould. That is, to be taught
•to work.
• "In spite of the large fortune these
"children will inherit," said the lawyer
' for the princess, "their lives should
not be idle. If they do nothing good or
'. useful they will run a great risk of
• doing something bad."
Sneers for Castellanes
t "The '"court should affirm the impos
'" Eibiiity'pf confiding these three children
* -to their, father or grandmother — in a
\v<rrd, to relatives who : would teach
. them -that the ideal of a man is to re
' ieive • am allowance from his divorced
, .wife." .
V .The lawyer then read a series of!
' letters. from the tutor of the children,
'. showing that. when the count was at
..ljome : , t>efore he* was. divorced, they ;
."never saw him except at meals, and
'ttiia't they were then made to listen to !
[..unbecoming language. ,
•' :< Yet the man who brings this un
. last, cruel and infamous suit." Clemen-
V'au 'said, with a sneer, "dares to al
/kge that he entertains esteem and ad
" -miration* for his former «*l* c." \u25a0"\u25a0;-\u25a0
• -tohen Clemenceau had finished it was
announced that the case would goover

opposition to the grafters were advo
cated in an address by Miss Miriam
Michelson. the prominent fiction writer,
before the California club Tuesday.
Miss Michelson is a leading member
of the woman's branch of the Citizens'
League of Justice, and, in her address,
urged her hearers to affiliate themselves
with that organization, which was
formed for the purpose of fighting graft
and aiding the graft prosecutors.
"San Francisco is in such a pitiful
strait," said Miss Michelson, "that she
can say with truth to her people, 'Those
of yo.u who are not r with ." me are
against me. -Those who will not fight
grafters are backing them.' • -.-V'
"There .is but one body of people in
town organized to fight corruption in
public life; if you don't help it with
your support you are against it by pas
sively encouraging the thing it is bat
tling against." . ";>;
At the conclusion of Miss Michelson's
address, a.' number of the California
club members announced their inten
tion of joining the woman's branch of
the League of Justice.
Following Miss Michelson's address,
Mrs. Elizabeth Gerberding spoke and
also urged the women to join the anti
graft forces. f,-; : .
