Woe of a Count and Sensational Anna Gould Tale
A Paris society scare centers on Count Bont de Castellane and a rumored heavy debt on the Bourse. Executors levy effects at the Castellane palace as creditors pursue alleged lavish spending by the Count and his Countess. The couple reportedly used assumed names to dodge bills, with dress makers claiming unpaid accounts spanning four years. The Matin and Temps note upheaval as the Countess might have sought favor from American creditors, while old money and social ties face scrutiny amid an explosion of sensational chatter in Partes.
