Countess HerCOIanl Comes
Forth With Story of Inno-
cence Betrayed, and 1t Will
Be Given Thorough Airing.
DECLARED WOMAN TAKES
ADVANTAGE OF DEAD MAN.
The Decision to Try the Case
Is King Victor's as He WISH
es to Clear the Name of His
Father From All SmirCh.

Rome, Jan. A trial involving the
character of the late King Humbert
will begin on Monday. and because it
involves a scandal it has already given
rise to much gossip.
A so-called Countess Hercolani
came forward some months ago with
a pitiful story of girlish innocence be-
trayed and pointed to a grown man as
her son by King Humbert The claim
set gossips in an uproar. There were
plenty of people TO believe the story,
and many bitter references were made
to King Victor's closeness in not eX-
pending sufficient money to keep such
a tale out OF the law courts and to
save the memory of his father.
Easy to Accuse Dead Man.
Crown Advocate Rossi refutes the
claim, as follows: while his majesty
lived the so-called countess showed no
signs Of life, and it is easy to accuse
dead man" In one way, however,
the matter is not so simple as it
seems. In Italy the law forbids any
claim for paternity. so the countess
had to base her case on other grounds.
and declared that the late king had
taken advantage of her innocence
when she was Is wears old-that is
when under age.
The decision to try the case is the
kings. He wishes to clear his faith
er's memory, and, besides, argues
soundly that any attempt TO buy her
off would only be taken as a sign of
fear and belief in the soundness OF
her case. 1t is better u finish it once
for all. AS for the kings economical
spirit, the trial will cost immensely
more than any hush money.
Alleged Son Her Brother.
The countess says she was born in
Tunis in 1865, but she can show no
documents TO prove It, and she looks
much older. She claims as her son a
boy who was registered as her brother
and is again with no documents. In
deed, with. these plain facts against
her, she has not a leg to stand upon.
The countess will produce a woman
whom she declares to have been her
wet nurse, but investigation proves
that in 1865 this woman was a child
of 10 years.
