Man I Should Be Stepfather to His Chil I dren and Attack Followed Ii i PARIS Feb 4 It was the fear that the wife who divorciM him Anna Gould would marry his cousin Prince Helie de Sajjan which drove I Count Boni de Castellane to expectorate into the visage of the Prince on I a day early in January last It was his indignation and anger and rage I which drove him to follow up the assault with such rude vigor that Prince Helie fell into the gutter and while lecumhent passively collided with the toe of Count Bonis boot Count Boni explained this today through counsel in the Cor rectional Court when he and his brother Count Jean de Castellane were arraigned on a charge of assaulting the Prince Counsel for the Count asserted that the Count was convinced that Prince Helie would not be a good stepfather to the Castellane children The Count explained counsel to the Court still respects his wife If he accepted a judgment of divorce from her it was because of that respect Although he is separated by law from his wife the Count was deeply stirred when he heard persistent reports that Prince Idle de Sagan would marry his divorced wife He could not restrain his impulses of indignation when he thought of the possibility of Prince de Sagan be I comjne the husband of the mother of his children The Count considers the Interests of his children as It If a lathers right 11 do lie could not conceive it hiK duty I as a father to submit without rot 10 even an Insinuation that cch a man should become ai Prince lieU de Pagan come the stepfather of his children Preceding this explanation by counsel Ccunt Uonl In answering a question put by tho Court sald that certain docu ments which he Intended to hand lo the Court would cast adequate light upon 1 the motive of the assault The Count continued that the Intimate character of the papers prevented their being made public The mention of papers served to excite Prince de Sagan lIe sprang to his feet and shouted Those documents are forgeries rtoth Count Boni and Count Jean ad mitted that Count Boni spat In the face of Prince Hello Count Boni added that he had not sent seconds to challenge Prince Helie to a duel because he know that Prlnco Hclle could not Ond a gen tlfinnn In Paris who woulu be willing te represent him on the geld of honor This left but one course open to Count Honl But ho protested that lie did not proceed beyond expectoration He did 1 not strike Prince hells with his flats or caress him with his boots Count Jean gave his version of the I encounter and other witnesses were heard Tho Court discharged

Something must be done and somebody elso Immediately yelled Tile postofllce In on firo the house went up In laughter and the play went up In smoke If anything rose from the ashes after that It wtis tho pale gaunt ghost of Artle brought painfully to mind by Mr Laurence Wheat who once before this season had faced a Garrick theatre audience In George Ades childsplay As Mr Cohans baseball hero Mr Wheat was so keen on himself that you wero afraid he might fall and cut his own throat lone before his deadly rival who lurked about like a village Mephlsto grabbed It In the first clinch There were three or four rounds and when the fiery youths stopped fight ins their equally fiery fathers went at It as though they too were In love with the same postmistress The gentle art of comedy was fought

had no sister to guide him over the emotional rocks this time he got along very wall and gave a natural and careful performance Ills gOd Inten tions were apparent in the first act Wben he started to shoot the conquer ing hero only ti be flopped by Sadie InFi lto of what Mr Cohan said It was evident that he expected the audi ence to take him seriousy at the end of every act at least That was the funny part of It all The house almost laughed Itself over the back of Its chair at the alarm of fire which brought down tho curtain on the sec ond act and It smiled up Its sleeve when the bad brothel
