The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1906-04-06

was made thus to walk in the streets
and be the butt of the whole popula.
ton of Wiesbaden.
1T is stated that when they were
in st. German and Paris Lord Town
shend was treated in a shameful man
ner, that in Paris, for instance, he was
made to black his own boots, and that
he was placed under restraint and
guarded by a black servant.
Statement by Wife's Father.
The allegations made by friends OF
the marquis are denied by Mr.. South.
erst, father of the machioness. Fol.
lowing is his statement of the case:
When the marriage Of my daugh-
ter to Lord Townshend was in course
of arrangement and during the dis
cussion as to the marriage settlement
an agreement was come to between
myself and the marquis in which I
agreed to procure to be advanced to
his lordship, upon adequate scout
the sum of G27,000 ($135, O00), to be
paid to him on certain terms. The
marquis agreed to charge his life in
terest in the Raynham estates as Sc
curity for this advancement, together
with interest at the rate of four per
cent. per annum, and with the pro-
ceeds of the advance to pay off a loan
Of about G12,000 and other debts
amounting in the aggregate to G27,-
600. 1t was agreed that if the result
Of the marriage is that a son be born
Within N rNnr,nI 30 o a~-L- A.
charge upon the estates should be re-
leased and the amount settled upon
Lady T~ownshend.
"They say | agreed to give G27, 900
before the marriage. AS a matter Of
fact there Ms a clause in the above
agreement which says: Upon the
marriage taking place a sum of money
to be mutually agreed upon shall be
advanced by the first party to the
second party, which is to be regarded
as on account of the total sum to be
advanced and charged as a Loan But
in case the G27,0 was not to be paid
until, as the first clause states, the
charge referred to is executed and all
prior existing charges are dealt with
satisfactorily and all necessary re-
leases given These conditions have
not yet been fulfilled. So that dis
poses of the first story.
81 will now proceed to the time of
my daughters honeymoon on the con.
tinent. At first we only had occasion
to consider the marquis conduct per.
haps a trifle eccentric. and l must ad-
init that my daughter was very as
tonished when at a simple conjuring
entertainment at Wiesbaden Lord
Townshend suddenly got up and de-
nounced the conjuref for witchcraft
and had to be taken out Of the room.
l was subsequently assured, however,
that this was merely n of the mar
quis' little eccentricities, and that he
felt very deeply on the subject of
witchcraft.
"a short time after his return to
town from the honeymoon the MARQUIS
was not feeling very we'll, and his
friend suggested that he would like
him to 60 down to Brighton for a few
days. There was nothing more natural
than this. especially In view of the
fact that before his marriage his lord
ship had lived there for some time.
HE returned In a disagreeable
mood after staying three or four days.
Zone night, my wife. who was din
Ing with the family, and who is mere
ly a visitor at my daughters request,
protested against money being paid
to q certain friend of Lord Town
shend. whereupon Lord Townshend
