Among other allegations she declared that the Earl has been living contrary to law with Mrs. Mol- lie Somerviile, whom he married in Amer- | ica. On April 17 last it was announced in the patches that Earl Russell had ied to V. Mollie Cooke at Reno, The announcement came through cable, Nev. the printed marriage notice, sent by which appeared in the English papers. ‘At that time 1t was stated that in 159 Earl Russell had married Mabel, daughter of Sir Claude Scott, the next year she having sued him for divorce, making charges of cruelty and other allegations of a very serious character. The matter creatéd a great scandal in England, and according to the dispatches Countess Russell failed to prove the charges, and she was compelled to pay the costs of the action, which ameunted to over $25,000. JHer mother, Mary Scott, mother of Lady Scott. was later convicted and imprisoned for libeling Earl Russell, and the Countess was convicted of libeling H. A. Reberts, master of Bath Coliege, who was mentioned in the charges Count- ess Russell had made against her hus- band. In 1896 the Countess sued for the restitu- tion of her conjugal rights, retracting all the charges she had » against her hus- band. The Countess afterward went on the stage, The next heard about the cas it was announced that the Earl ried Mollie Cooke. Then there was talk of bigamy, and it was said various suits Were to be brought in England. It was claimed the Nevada marriage was illegal but the Earl in an interview before his de. parture for England asserted that every. thing had been regular, that his first wife had _been bothering him for years in the English courts, where she had been inva riably non-suited. The Eari and his bride sailed for London immediately after hi marriage. taking passage on the Ivernia of the Cunard iine. It was said at the time that Miss Cooke had secured a divorce from her husband before she married the Earl. At any rate when the pair arrived in London, on May S, the Earl took the charges quite calmly and safd his friends understood the whole affair. The English papers referred to the woman whom he had married in America as “a lady he recently married in_the States.” Since then nothing has been | heard of the case. POOLSELLER LOSES.
