king, Charles Hamilton Payne, bogus
pictures. On the return of 400 love
letters written by Mrs. Payne to
D'Aulby. the plaintiff withdrew the
case. Nevertheless the losses caused
by D'Aulby's Imprisonment, the return
OF the pictures, the loss of the chateau
and kindred worries so prayed upon
the countess mind that she collapsed
There is much sympathy for her
especially as she has four young chill
dren. The bogus count. reduced to
