Her civil marriage to Prince Rospi-
gliosi was not recognized by the
Catholic church. as she was di-
vorce But she appealed, setting forth
that her first marriage was invalid
in the eyes of the church, inasmuch
as Colonel Parkhurst had not been a
baptized Catholic when she married
| him.

that my case is lost That is only
one of the many stories circulated &c

cardinals heard my case, just before

favor"
The princess came here to settle the

Prime Rowan, daughter of former
ambassador to Italy. The princess
was famous as a beauty in Washing
