Dennistoun Renews Story of Hus- band’s Actions. BY HAL O'FLAHERTY. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Dally News. LONDON, March G.—Dorothy Den- nistoun, divorced wife of Col. lan Dennistoun, resumed her evidence to- day in her suit to recover money she loaned to her former husband before his second marriage to Almina, Coun- tess Carnarvon, widow of the discov- erer of King Tut-ankh-Amen's tomb. There is a touching contrast in the appearance of the plaintiff and the defendant. Mra. Dennistoun arrived in court alone today. tired looking and pale, her small figure shrinking into her sealskin wrap, but determination written on her tight-set mouth. Later Col. Dennistoun, with the countess on his arm, and both smiling gally at the cameraman, made his way to the court, seemingly unmoved by the ordeal of the exposure. Seeks to Prove Malice. It is the intention of Dennistoun's counsel, Sir Edward Marshall Hall, to prove that Mrs. Dennistoun brought suit vindictively to vent the bitter rage of a woman scorned. In all his efforts so far he has been met with unrufled—almost meek—retorts by Mrs. Dennistoun. WIth her volce trembling at times she continued to- day to give evidence of her former husband's baseness, stripping him of every vestige of character unless counsel for the defense is able to disprove her statements that Col. Den- nistoun lived for years on money she secured from Gen. Sir John Cowans, late quartermaster general of the British army, In order to secure a colonel's pro- motion in the Army the wife openly Gen. Cowans' favor and finally lived with him, not only with her husband's consent, but with his active connlvance. She supplied Dennistoun with all her own money, and when that was exhausted, she says, she sent him a portion of the funds supplied her by the late quar- termaster general At times during her evide Mrs. Dennistoun attempted to gloss over the more disgusting portions of her husband’s alleged actions. Although her letters revealed her efforts to get Dennistoun commands as far away from the fighting line as pos- sible, she tries to make it appear otherwise. Then other extracts from the letters touch upon his imminent reduction in rank during the war for incompetence. She makes it ap- pear simply as a difference of opin- Teimi lored and /.0 CREERON @@0614 12TH STREET N.

With a wistful smile of remem- brance Mrs. Dennistoun told of her efforts to protect her husband from gossip, which, evén during the war, labeled him as a man who was living upon the lllicit wages of his wife. Documentary evidence given to the jury Wednesday and today corrobo- rated Mrs. Dennistoun’s assertion that her husband now had plenty of money with which to pay her zli- mony. Accounts from his bank show that immediately before his marriage to Countess Carnarvon he possessed noth- ing, but within a space of two months his’account showed deposits of over 100,000 pounds, all supplied by the countess. Without doubt there is an element of animosity in Mrs. Dennistoun’s case, but so far she has shown only a desire to collect enough money to Keep her comfortably in England. Public interest in this amazing vari- ation of the old triangle love plot increases daily. ‘urious crowds wait for hours out- side the court for a glimpse of the beautiful plaintiff and the noted wife of the defendant, (Copyright, 1925, by Chicago Daily News Co.)
