VATICAN DECLINES
 BON|'S REQUEST
Marriage With Anna Gould
 Is Not Annulled
LEAVES FOR PARIS
Countess de Castellane Granted Di- yorce in 1906 and Gives Custody of Three Children-Annullme
 Opposed By Former Wife

Rome. December 26.-The vatican has declined to grant Count De Castellane an annulment of his marriage with Anna Gould, who is now the Duchess of Talley- rand and Sagan. Countess de Casteilane was granted a divorce from her husband and given the custody of their three ehll- dren in November, 1906. About year ago Count Boni applied to she vatican for annulment of the marriage.
 For several months the congregation Of the council has had under advisement the process received from the Archbishop of Paris concerning the case. When Mgr. Annette, archbishop of Paris, came to Rome recently to receive the red hat, he gave to the pope and Cardinal Gennari' prefect of the congregation of the eoun- eil all the details in his possession con corning the case and the situation Of those involved
 Count Boni came to Rome December 20, using all possible influence to obtain has obiect. In this he was not opposed by the Duchess of Talleyrand. The decision of the congregation, which was communi- cated to him yesterday, however, rejected his petition for annulment. The ground on which the application was denied was summarized as follows:
 "A marriage celebrated and consum- mated, if performed according to the law of the church, until proved to the con- trary. as it was in the case of the Cas- tellane-Gould marriage, is indissolubie There are certain impediments which, II existing before the marriage, can prevent its celebration, or If celebrated In lsno- rance of them, render the marriage in- valid. in which case the church can pro- claim that the union of the parties never in reality evist. But, in the arguments brought forward by De Castellane, no such impedimenta have been shown"
 Count Boni left here tonight for Paris He expects to return to Rome about the middle of January It is thought he will bring forward new points upon which to base an application for annulment.

Attalla, December 26--( Special )-Christ- mas passed very quietly here, and no dis order of any kind was reported. All the Christmas trees and entertainments at the various churches were very success full and the remainder of the week prom ises to be lively in social way. The sermon of Bishop J. H. Mccoy at the First Methodist church was one of the features of the religious ceremonies ac- companying the observance of Christmas day. Services were also held in the other churches in the city.
 William Gaines, who has been with George P. Walker, the druggist, Tor the past eight years, has accepted position with the B. B. s.

 The citizens of Attalla are very much disappointed in the Improvements being made in the Union Station here by the Alabama Great Southern Railroad com pany, and will take the matter up with the state railroad commission Only a few minor additions are being made to the present station, and the citizens do not believe that the depot will be large enough to handle the largely increased traffic when it is completed.

VER|F|ES IDENTITY
 OF H. [. ROBINSON
A Gadsden Man Positively Identifies Body Found
 on R. R. Track

o. Williams of Gadsden removed all doubt as to the identity of the pan who was struck by a local Louisville and Nashville passenger train Christmas eve at farkwood station, and who is believed to have been murdered and the body placed on the track to hide the deed. MT. Williams went to the shaw & Son s undertaking establishment, on Fifth ave- nue, yesterday, where he positively iden- tifed the man as Harry E. Robinson of Chicago, III.
 MT. Williams stated that he and Rob inson had worked together in Chicago, and that they were good friends. He said that Robinson had written him post card from Chicago. date December 19, and stating that Robinson would pay Williams a visit in the near future. Will Hams is acquainted with Robinson's fam ily and said that they lived at 71Ss Elm erald avenue, Chicago.
 Williams went on to say that Robin son had conducted a cigar store for some time in Denver, Col He had travelled a great deal and had several hundred ad- dresses in a memorandum book found m his suitcase. These addresses were ol neonle living all over the United States most of them in the west. Williams could give no cause for a possible murder and was at. a loss to explain the death.
 The fact that a fine gold watch was found on the person of the dead man refuted the robbery theory The most baffling part of the case IS that all of the laundry marks had been cut from the clothing. The cause of the removal of these marks is still deep mystery
 It is believed that Robinson was shot. either purposely or accidentally while OH the railroad track. The theory that he was murdered and the body then placed on the track is given setback by the fact that both of the dead mans legs were broken above the ankles. evidently being struck by the COW catcher of the engine. In this case he would have had to have been stand ing up when the train struck him. If so 1t is thought that he was struck by a stray bullet and dazed or else that he was left on the track as dead. The manner of his death is still a mystery and no clue to a possible murderer can be found.
 Shaw & Son have telegraphed the Robinson residence in Chicago several times but have received no answer The body will be held by them until some trace of the dead mans relatives can be found
