Attacks on Bonl in Paris Court Over Castellane Custody Suit
In a Paris Palace of Justice session, M. Juliermer for the Princess de Sagan argues Count de Castellane seeks custody of his three children to grant control to his mother. He accuses Castellane of hatred toward Sagan and attempts to besmirch the Sagan family. M.

The court will reconvene December 16 for rebuttal.
