testimony regarding episodes of his
life with the former Mrs. Aimee
Crocker Gouraud. on which he based
mis- charges of cruelty.
After conference with the princi-
pals Mr. OldmiXon, lawyer, said:
AN amicable settlement has been
reached and there is no financial
agreement. Prince Miskinoff is not
angry at the princess. His feeling
toward her is very friendly. He is
now satisfied that no child was born to
his wife and the case should be
closed"
The baby that figured in this con-
troVersy,' he added, was a poor little
girl named Vera, a founding who was
fortunate enough to win at the age of
two months the friendship of Mrs.
GoCraud. Her identity never will be
established. She will be reared and
properly educated and provided for.
The princess never told the prince that
child had been born to them"
Again last night Prince Miskinoff
said he was satisfied to let his sepa-
ration suit drop.
Going to War, He Says
II have been wanting to get back to
Russia, into the war" he told a friend.
Now l shall go"
In court yesterday morning the
prince was questioned about his rela-
tions with Yvonne Gouraud. He de-
scribed them as courteous and kind
ly." He used TO kiss her hands. ac-
cording to the French custom. In
Paris, he said, his wife told him that
she was too old for him and he should
marry Yvonne, also that Yyonne was
flirting with other men. When they

the McAlpin he had to speak to his
wife regarding the conduct of Yvonne.
My room was first, madame'S was
next and Yvonne's next" he said. II
told madame that Yvonne was con-
stantly appearing at the door in her
night dress and listening. The porters
and maids could see her. L suggested
that she get another room farther
away. Madame was furious and said
Yvonne was very jealous. Yvonne
wrote letters to me all the time
He identified Il letter to Yvonne
which he said was a consolation let
ter" written after he had told the girl
he could not marry her, as he was
married TO her mother" Madame had
proposed divorce, but he had assured
her that divorces were hard to obtain.
She replied said the prince, that ''she
knew more about divorce than most
lawyers, because she had two of them" "
Listened i'm Night Clothes
Mr. Lawrence, cross examining,
asked the prince If he had ever seen
Yvonne listening at the door in her
nightdress.
No, he said, "Yvonne herself told
me. Once she even put letters under
nv door when madame was in the
room-but fortunately madame didn't
see them. l remember very well, be-
cause L heard the rustling of paper
and was trembling because madame
was there"
After hearing of the birth of the
baby, the prince said, he was occupied
with the thoughts of a father and paid
little attention to Yvonne. He said
that when a divorce was talked of he
went to Mr.. Lawrence's office six times,
| and finally he was so sure a decree
would be granted that he arranged to
| sail with Yvonne for, cuba on NO
vember s.
did you ever kiss Yvonne?" Mr..
Lawrence asked, continuing the cross
examination.
Certainly. Every night before go
ing TO bed / kissed Yvonne and the
madame too"
Mr.. Lawrence read letter in which
appeared the line, II kiss you, my
charming little XIII XIII. Is it nice?"
I'm France" said the prince, zone
always writes like that. When I go
back TO France, Mr.. Lawrence, | shall
write YOU in the same way" He said
it was Yvonne's affair, not his, If her
affection was more than friendly-he
knew all the time that she was in love
with him.
Did you and Yvonne write many
letters?" was another question.
80 many it would take an express
wagon to carry them," was the reply.
