AN IMPORTANT ALLIANCE.
lAtlanta Constitution |

lAtldHtd CONSTITUTIONAL
1t is now understood that the young
est daughter of the Prince of Wales
will marry the crown prince of Italy.
This disposition of the princess for
crown brings up some serious ques-
,ions. Prince Victor cannot reach
the throne Of Italy except as an adher-
ent Of the Roman Catholic church,
and as a concession to the people the
prince will feel bound to marry wo-
man of the same faith. 1t follows
that Princess Maud will have 10 aban-
don Protestantism and become Ro-
man Catholic under parental orders,
just as Princess .Aiix was forced to
give up the Protestant faith and make
oath TO the spiritual as we'll as politi-
cal supremacy of the car.
This marriage will excite bitter crit
icism in England and Italy. In the
common ranks of life the father who
ordered his daughter to change her
religion in order to get husband
would be despised. Yet the Prince of
Wales, who will be the head OF the
Protestant church when he mounts
the throne, has no computations
about commanding his daughter to
shuttle off one religion and put on a
new one for the purpose of gaining a
crown.
Perhaps the sacrifice will be a sad
mistake. The people of Italy are
taxed to death. The country is bank
rupt, and the reigning dynasty is ap-
parently lettering to its fall. A few
years from now the Italian crown
prince and his bride will probably be
in exile, and The woman who is about
to give up her faith for the empty hon
ors of royalty will devote her days and
nights 10 unavailing, regrets.
How Incidentally coarse and COM
mon are these constituencies represen-
tatives of royalty! How can they
command the respect, to say nothing
of the allegiance of millions of people1
How long will they hold their own

A FAMOUS MURDER CASE
ATLANTA Constitution |

AT Antwerp there was recently con
Guided one of the most remarkable
murder cases of the century. Madame
Ioniaux, the defendant, is a brilliant
woman Of high social position, and
her shrewdness and nerve excited the
admiration of her enemies.
According to the verdict, tic woman
poisoned her uncle, brother and si-ler
in order to inherit their fortunes. al
though we'll born and reared in aris;o
cratic circles, she had no money, and
the best thing she could do was to
marry prosy literary man named
Faber. But she found that her hus
band had no use for society. 1t was
bitter disappointment. Here was a
woman, brilliant magnetic, and quail
fed to be a social leader, and yet she
was tied to man who cared fox moth
ing but his pipe and his books. JON
faux then came along and became
quite intimate with Madame Faber.
He was society man, but untortu-
nately he had no means. Faber died
suddenly, and his widow received his
heavy insurance and then married
Joniaux. The two were congenial and
were soon at the top Of the social lad
der. AT the end of four years the in
suranCe money was gone and creditors
were growing impatient. Something
had to be done.
Madame Jonlaux insured the life OF
her youngest sister in favor Of her
daughter for $4,000. In short
time the sister died suddenly and the
Joniaux family collected the SI4,o
and had gay time for another year.
Again they were in trouble and more
money had to come from. somewhere.
SO the Madame's rich bachelor uncle
was the next victim. He was invited
to dinner by his niece and went off in
fit Of what was called apoplexy.
But it turned out that he had an lille
gitimate son, who has been made the
rich mans heir. The Jonauxs were
in desperate fix, and the Madame
insured her brothers life for $4,000
in her favor. OF course, the brother
died in few weeks.
The bereaved sister was sweetly re-
signed, but the agents of the insurance
company began a quiet investigation.
The body Of the dead brother showed
traces of poison. The other bodies
showed no such evidence. Still, the
prosecution insisted that Madame
Joniaux had deliberately poisoned all
of them, and the jury SO found. The
defendant denied her guilt but she ad
mitted that she had gambled, made
fraudulent debts and had perjured her
self. In regard TO this last matter she
calmly told the court that a woman in
tight place had right to defend
herself by any possible means Du-
ring the trial she was so sweet, gentle
and pathetic that the Judge pronounced
her the most skillful defendant ever
tried in Belgian court
What will be the fate of this beaut-
full fiend? She will not go to the gal
lows, but will be sent to prison for
life. She will be placed in a cell
where not ray of light will ever pen
citrate, where she will never see hu-
man face or hear human voice Her
food will be poked through little
crack under the door and she will
grope for it and eat it in the darkness.
1t would be more merciful to hang
her. Such punishment as she must
endure is simply inhuman.
