nounces the death of Prince Pierre Napoleon,
which took place at Marsieles, the immediate
causeof which was govt. The Prince, the third
son of Prince Lucien Bonaparte, was born in
Rome, September 18th, 1915. In 1882 he came
to this country, and served with Santander Ill
South America He returned to Rome, and
in 1886 made himself so obnoxious that the
Papal authorities ordered him to leave the
city. He killed one of the policemen who
came to escort him to the frontier, and was
consequently imprisoned for some time in the
Castle of Santi Angelo. He again came to the
United States, but getting in trouble here,
went to France, and in 1913 entered the for
eign service of the French Army. In 1S49 he
was cashiered. After the coup d'etat in 1851 he
was endowed with the dgnlties of his rank,
and lived near Paris with his mistress the
daughter of a washwoman, whom he married
in 1869. In 1870 he assassinated the journal
list, Victor Moir. and was tried for murder aud
acquitted, he pretending that he acted in self
defense, as Moir had slapped his face His
only sentence was the payment of an indem
nifty of 81, 900 francs to the family of the muir
dered man. He was compelled to leave
France by the authorities, however, and set
tied in London, where his wife opened mill
merry store and supported him and his family
of several children, who were legitimatized
after his marriage.
