have not been broken; that they have

Since the beginning of the crisis neither

Count Thurn, the diplomatic agent here

ination Of Prison Penalty-Bal-
timore Woman's Claims.

LOUISVILLE, KY, October 23-Charles
j. Magness. deserter from the navy and
husband Of Mrs. Ada German Magness,
daughter of the late Senator German of
Maryland. will probably leave for Phila-
delphia tonight. where he will stand court
martial. The police received a message
from the Navy Department today saying
that an officer from Cincinnati would be
in Louisville today to arrange for Mag
ness removal to Philadelphia
Magness was not in good humor to-
day, and showed it plainly by declining
to comment on the report that he may
be a defendant in a breach of promise
suit which may be brought by Miss
GeOrgiana Happier of Baltimore, who,
according to dispatch from the east,
maintains that Magness was to have
married her September % last.
Magness was again allowed to leave
the Jail last night and visit his wife at
her boarding house.
Washington friends of Mrs. Charles Jo-
seph Magness. formerly Miss Ada Cor
man. have not recovered from the shock
which followed the arrest of Magness at
Louisville on the charge of being a de-
serter from the United States Navy.
Every phase of the romance, the mar
riage and the sensational denouement was
discussed today at places where men and
women meet or where they congregated.
The story of how Miss German, a recog-
nized society leader, became enamored of
sailor-musician was told and retold. The
disparity in their ages as we'll as in their
social status was discussed. Fashionable
women queried each other as to how the
matter would end. and all sorts of prog
nostications. good and evil, were made.
But with all the gossip there were some
acquaintances of Mrs. Magness who
praised her loyalty in sticking to the man
who had by his own vOlition brought SO
much of scandal and disgrace upon his
head; who would be "bob-tailed' out of
the navy and perhaps have to serve time
in a naval prison for violating his oath
and deserting the government he had
promised to serve-one, also, who had
brought so much sorrow into the life of
the favorite daughter of Maryland's late
senator.
