court at Widzewo ^has ordered the

Paris, Feb. 14.—Count Boni Castel
lano had a long conference yesterday
with tie lawyers of the Countess,-his
wife. This was one of several meet
ings at which the two parties -con
cerned have carefully gone over the
financial features of the case, with the
view of determining the exact form
of the future procedure and ultimate
decree.
In the meantime, the Countess’s hill
of complaint is being prepared,-but
is-not yet been -fliedruir tb * ‘

will depend upon the pending confer
ences over financial affairs. If these
are Satisfactorily adjusted the Coun
tess’s bill of complaint is likely to be
materially modified so as to contain
only incompatibility or other grounds
within the Btatute, but avoiding alle
gations of a scandalous nature.
However, the conferences are not
for the purpose of reconciliation, as
all concerned, including the Count pnd
CountefiB and theirljLyyerB, appear to
recognize the futility of any further
attempt to reunite the family. The
present indications, therefore, are that
after the parties reach a financial
understanding the bill will be modified
and a dgcree entered by mutual con
sent^ This decree probably will be
for a separation, as the French law
permits such a decree being extended
to a complete divorce alter three
yeats. Thus far, however, the Coun
tess has. not decided whether the bill
shall ask for a complete annulment of
her marriage. Her friends are rather
inclined to restrict the decree to a
separation, as this would prevent the
re-marriage of either party within
three years, thus putting an end to
the rumor that the Countess intends
to marry again, which her friends
characterize as absurd. Until the bill
is finally framed and filed, the courts
will not formally possess the docu
ment explicitly setting forth the
grounds of the action.
The .preliminary plea did not enter
into the merits of the case, but was
a formality under the French law
whereby the wife must ask the court’s
permission to begin action against her
husband.
In order to sustain this plea the
Countess presented papers establish
ing a prima facie right to begin an
action against her husband. These
prima facie papers did not specify the
names of the co-respondents but re
cited incidents in which the Count is
alleged to be implicated. The present
negotiations tend to further eliminate
these names from appearing during
the official proceedings.
As a result of the Countess’s prima
facie showing, the court has awarded
her the temporary care of her chil
dren and a separate domicile at the
Castellane mansion on the Avenue du
Bois de Boulogne.
The effect of this interlocutory or
der is to exclude the Count from the
mansion, as the law considers It to be
incompatible for the two separate
domiciles to exist under the same
roof. The Countess remains there
with her children, and she expects to

HORSE TRAINER’S \:
DEMENtTa’S QUEER TURN
Unfortunate Canadian Was Taken In
Charge by Atlanta Officers.
Special to The Herald.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 1'4.—Acting queer-
ly in a vacant lot at Whitehall and
Humphreys streets yesterday, John H.
Jackson, aged 48, a Canadian horse-
trainer, was arrested.
The man’s reason had been under
mined by an attack of malarial fever.
The sight of a big wire reel belonging
to the Southern Bell Telephone Co.
in a vacant lot excited the disordered
brain of the Canuck, and he was soon
In custody. He secured an axe and
attacked the reel, cutting great chips
from it. Jackson said there was a
man in the reel and he was trying to
rescue him. On a plea of offering
help, the officers obtained possession
of the axe and then arrested Jackson.
After getting to police barracks Jack-
son decided that the reel whs a mule
and that he had done a good deed by
relieving the animal of its heavy bur
den of wire.
