SIXTEENTH YEAR. MILADY MAKES A SHOWING. Evidence in the Oolin Campbell Case Which Favors the Plaintiff. STRONG TESTIMONY DISPROVED Interesting Epistles Which Bear on the Suit Between the Mother in-Law and Haughty Duke —Wild Ocean Tales, Con {Copmight 1856 hg Hor Way. by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxvos, Dee. 1.—{New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bre.|—This las been the most important day of the Camp- bell case. Lady Colin Campbell has cstab- lished such preponderating evidence of an alibi against the allegea Purfleet hotel inti- delity as to destroy that allezation—renlly the only very sfrong circumstance against mi lady. The medical testimony to-day de stroyed all suspicions about her alleged mis- carriage or Dr. Bixd's alleged indiscretions beyond medieal necessities, Letters pro duced today between the mother-in-law and the Duke of A kill the allegation that she desired the marriace, or s as it were, “Come, Haste to the Wedding. THE MOTHER-IN-LAW'S LETTER, Let me begin with the correspondence. Some months before the marriage the mother- in-law, Mary Ann Blood, wrote thus to papa- in-law Argyle, quite In the style of old comedy: “My Lorp Duke—Few things would be more painful or mortifying to methan to teel myself called, as a matter of duty, voluntarily to enter into communication with your grace on a matter of business connected with the approaching marriage ot your son with my daughter. Though the day has not been definitely announced, 1 believe it will take place either on the 20th or 27th of July Before opening the matter of business alluded to I wish to explain somewhat our position with regard to this marriage. We have had nothing whatever to do with it. ‘The engagement was made without our con- sent being asked, but when our daughter re- turned to us from Scotland we saw plainly 1t was quite useless to try to induce her to change her mind. I think yon had the same experience with your son. ‘They have cer- tainly been true to each other during the elght months of much trial during which they have been engaged, and it is our deter- mination to make the best of what cannot be nged, as according to my old lioned ideas, it would be a great scandal and breach of honor if either were now to draw back, which, indeed, neither of them appears to have the smallest inclination to ao. Gertrude has suffered too much anxiety and worry during the last eight months to make it possible for us to allow her to be kept longer than is absolutely necessary in her present position. She is very brave, but there are limits to what a girl can safely bear. Lf any one had prophesied to me a year ago that I should consent to our daughter making such a marriage as this 1 should have laughed at the very idea.” THE SNUB APPROVED. When Sir Charles Russell read this dueal snub the mother-in-law nodded from the witness stand her approval, and two jurymen seemed to nod their approval. “I should have expected her to be received with pride and joy in any family, no matter whose it might be. Sheis well born, beau- tiful, of most noble character and exception- ally gifted. Ieronly defect is she has but the portion of a private gentlewoman, and therefore she has been ignored with studied diseourtesy by every member of your grace’ family, over whom your influence is para- mount. Then she marries aman who cannot settle a six pence on her. This matter of money is my cause for writing, 1tis your wish to leave £00 of Gertrude's money entirely unsettled, in order that Lord Colin may have so much command of capital, which may be of great importance to him in his future career, but this depends on your grace consenting to settle Lord Colin’s younger son's portion as a jointure, This, With £200 secured to her as a mortgage on her father’s property, would be a small pro vision, but it would be a certainty. 1f your grace refuses this arrangement it will make no difference as to the fact of the mar but at will oblige us to settle strictly all of Gertrude's money, leaving her no power to deal with it except by will. This settlement will be a certain loss of income to them, as securities which satisfy trustees give very small interests, But that will not be our fault, as we are willing to deal as liberally « possible with Lord Colin, to whom we are much attached, and to whom we would wish to give every possible help in his career.” ARGYLE'S KINDLY REPLY “T'o this, on the very day of its re baughty duke, whose discourteous two years later to a note from Lady Colin Campbell has already been cabled to the Her- ald, answered kindly, thus: AnGyLE Lovae, KENsiNg Madame: | have r ed your letter of this date, I have never supposed (hat you or Mr. Blood had the smallest responsibility con- nected with your danghter’s engagement to my so1, but it was lmpossible for me 1o ap- prove that engagement, made on some three ays’ acauaintanc with — no pre vious knowledge whatever — of each other's — character — and dispositions, 1 have thought it my duty to withnold all ap- proval of such an engagement, und not to recognize it untit it should be irevocable, But this determination is not intended as any discourtesy to your daughter or to her parents. As you now inferm e that you consider the engagement so irrevoeable that 80 comparatively early a day is spoken of for the marriage, L am disposed, as 1 have already told Colin I should do, to make the best of what cannot be prevent Inder the eircumstances, I shall be dis- posed to make some arrangement of the subject you reter to, but I cannot help think ing that, as the total sum which you can give to your daughter and that which 1 ean give toColin, is more than £16,000, the whole of it ought to be settled and no part of it ought to be treated as income or used other- wise than as capital, secure for the purpose of atfording an income.” THE BESULT, Mere, 1 may pertinently add, that in the result only £1,000 was left out of the settle ment, and that was used to pay some of Lord Colin’s debts and furnish a house, NO UBGING FROM HER After the correspondence was Clarles Russell asked: “Is there any foundation for the tion that you, in auy shape or torm, or pressed Lord Colin iuto this meniy Lo which she promotly answered: “Cer- tainly not. [ spoke to bim strongly as to the discourtesy with which bis family treated my daughter, 1 sald, *If ‘you had presented your father with a buteher's daughter he would have welcomed her with effusion if she had plenty of money, and he ought, at least, reat my daughter with courtesy, being what she is.” He replied:. “Ihat's perfectly true, and it wakes wy fathe:'s conduct ouly the more disgusting,” Al this sally Lord Colin gave the tradi- re, pt, the Answer read, Sir sugg coerce en g { o | made to blush even Lady Mile: OMAHA, TUESDAY witness, while laughed tional son-in-law look at the the judee, jury and all concerned heartily. FIRM ON CROSSEXAMINATION, The mother-in-law’s eross examination did not shake lier contradictions of Lord Colin's and the duke's evidence. On the contrary | indisereet questions brought out these answer “I an; y remonstrated with Lord Colin about the treatment his family gave her, and he laughed at e, Lord fous to have my danghter with him that he had the Acity one oceasion to write from Westgate-on © he had gone for a change of air, for my daugiiter to stay with him, without any chaperone or without any one to take care of her, and when he came up and I reproached tim, he angrily asked me about her having refused to go. 1 said to him: ‘Do you forget that, even it 1 were fool enough to asseat to such an arrangement, my girl has a father and brother? A POINT FORCOLIN. Lord Colin's advocate, however, scored one point in her aflinmative answers to these question: “Did you approve of Lord Bland- ford’s association with your daughter?” “Did you know of his divoree court cased” She was next plumply asked: “Did you eon- ider him a fit companion for a young and beautiful married woman?” Here Advoeate Finley looked with affected admiration at Lady Colin, who arcely varies from day to day in her toilet as at first described, s “The answer came with asperity : “I did not see anything worse in Lord Blandford than in a great many other men. He has never uttered a word in his own de- fence, aud I think he re ed harder judg: ment than many other men who were just as bad.” Mr. Finlay (annoyed)—We shall see what the duke to say for himself when he comes here, The judge (with emphasis)—You have a Tight to ask her questions, but not to com- ment on her answers. THE WITNESS' LOORS. Mrs. Blood was attired in matronly black. She is about sixty, but looks aged and feeble, and her face, which bears stronz marks of grief at the situation, 18 unlike the face of the Duke of Argyle, who seems to be quietly saying when in court, “Remember, ladies and gentlemen, | predicted this sad state of things from the beginning.” She isa coun- try widow woman and speaks with a music brogue. Her son, who has the marine nams of Neptune, gave his testimony with a broad brogue, for he seemed excited. e admitted having be the chucker-out of the dis- charged maid, and of having shaken his fist and ing his father shake his fist also in Lord Colin’s face atthe time of the family meeting in Thurloe Square. He and his wife produced letters which had passed between them in the days of the aileged Purfleet lultery showing that, if they had not been manufictured for the purpose, Lady Colin was in London. Unfortunatly for them they could not produce the post marked en- velopes. Neptune Blood looked savagely, as if the witness box was an ocean in which he sat surrounded by tritons ana sea monsters. His wife, an English lady. was a meek am- phitrit virgo intacto testimony as to the fair Watson with the golden tresses, which, it was claimed, Lord Colin covered with caresses, Ihe Duke of Marlborongh sat in court throughout the day. He smiled when mother- n-law Blood doubtfully defended him as not veing worse than many other Englishmen A well-known law barrister remarked to me in the lobby: L think the duke's prin- cipal agony is being charged, as a man of the world, with doing things in ways and by methods, that might be practiced by callow youths and in making the assignation at Purflect, where the officers of his_ old regiment were stationed, and which is a little, commonplace Darrack village where everybody sces cvery body.

[Copyright 1886 by Ja FaryorTin, Dee, 1. [New York Her Cable-Special tothe Bex.]—In order to ascer- tain the full particulars of the disasters to the ships Cashier and Stambout, I took a boat to these vessels. Cantain Telfer, of the Cashier, said: “We left Philadelphia in the middle of November, fair weather prevailing, with a cargo of petroleum. From the Delaware breakwater we had a good voyage until 1 cember 7. While the ship was being brought to under two good swing foresails on the morning of the Sth an immense wave boarded it, carrying everything away, and knocking down like matehwood the fore- mast and the mizzentop gallant mast. The force of the wave broke the fore and main hatches off, t} ars being twisted up like bent wire, abin was filled with water and all the provisions spoiled. “I was below at the time, looking at the barometer. On returning the water poured down the companion ladder on me in torrents. 1 then had the wheel secured and ordered everything to be cut away to clear the wreek. The ship was in 40 deg, 20 min north, and 10 deg, 15 min west at the time of the disaster. The barometer was exceedingly Jow—2570— when the gale was at its highest. The wind was west, northwest by west. The sea which struck us was a tremendous wave, just in its forwarding motion, but fortunately had no base to it. On the 10th of December the weather moderated, when we rigged the shin as best we eould and arrived here on the fol- lowing evening.” CAPTAIN CANN'S STORY. Captain Cann, of the Stambout, was il in his berth when I boarded her, bit hie told m e the following sto “We left Bristol on December 3 for New York with a cargo of empty easks and iron. Wind and weather were variable up to the 8th, when at evening the vessel was lying to under her lower main topsail. The gale blew from west. northwest. At midnight a huge wave broke over us, earrying away the bulwarks, rails, stanchions, front of the poop and forward house, and the boats were stove and yards carried away. The pilot house was gutted. Only. one sea swept over the ship, which was in longitude 47, deg. 10 min., latitude 8 deg. 10 min. at the time. ‘The barometer stood at 20 deg. 1w asleep at the time of the disaster, but the con- cussion threw me out of bed, severely ingme. One of my scamen at the time was knocked down and brok collar bone. We cleared away the debris and made Falmouth, where we shall remain for repairs.” Both captains seemed to similarly deseribe the gigantic waves. TWO 0Th Gordon Bennet!.] TIE KENOLE EVIDENCE. Neptune proved an expert in keyholes, He had examined the one through which Jay Gould’s steward saw the maritally compro- mising scene. He demonstrated the imposs bility of such action, for on both sides ot the keyhole were easily dropping brass covers and the keyhole was too high to sce the floor through it. ‘I'he jurors had asked permission to visit the house in order to see for themselves, but Justice Butt refused such permlission, as it was refused in the Dilke case, sententiously remarking that if all the houses that were the scenes of divoree evidence were to be visited by jurors dire confusion would result, PROVING AN ALIBL “To prove the alibi against the Purtleet inci- dents, which rest on testimony regarding peisonal identity, a railway clerk and a car- man swore to the delivery of sowe grouse on the day Lady Colin was said to be at Purflect with Lord Blandford. The date was per- feetly fixed to the receipt. Lady Colin's maid swore she took the crouse in and recog- nized her signature to the receipt, and that her mistress remained in town all Sunday. Shie fixed the date because she then lent her mistress her breviary to go to the Carmel- ite chureh, and beinga Catholie, remembered this rare circumstance in a Protestant. Be- sides, she was the only one during the grouse season in service there and during the August in question, Her examination was interrupted by the judee, who weariedly asked: “Must we Liave ke personal history of every witness?” The cook, who was there also, was the the only one in the grouse season, and swore she cooked grouse on the day involved, and saw Lady Colin take some braces away to give to Lady Miles and to her parents, the re ceipt of which the Bloods had testitied to. Philip Miles, butler, flatly contradicted the testimony of the Swiss maid, that Lord Blandford, at Leigh court on Christmas or at Easter, occupied the adjoining room to Lady Colin, : UNFORTUNATES, Returning to shore I found the Mizpah, Captain Dowley, and tl semma. Captain Olsen, both just arrived and The former passed here a week ago Philadelphia, but encountered and could mot make any dway, and became leaky in consequence. Owing to the recent gale and the huge waves running it was thought ad visable to put back.
