chauffeur was shot to death by Eu-

in her testimony had barred her life of
two years ago.
Neither Cothron nor his wife
showed any emotion when Chief
Judge Hammond c. Urncr, presiding
at their trial with Judges Edward c.
Peter, of Rockville. and Glenn II.
Worthington, announced the findings
of the court. In fact, both appeared
happy, it being evident they had
feared the death penalty would b. ih,-
posed. They were taken to the Mary
land prison from Rockville last night.
Neither of the sentences met with
the unanimous consent of the three
judges. In the case of Grace Cothron.
Judges Urner and Peter agreed she
was guilty of first degree murder and
recommended life imprisonment.
Judge WorthinGton dssented on the
degree of guilt, asserting there had
been no evidence that the girl-wife

In the case of Cothron. Judge
Worthington and Peter agreed on the
first degree verdict, with the death
penalty. Judge Urner disscnted on
the imposition of the death penalty,
and in view of the differences of
opinion Cothron was given a life SEN
tence. Cothron was serving a life
sentence in the Maryland penitentiary
for the killing of a Philadelphia negro
when he was brought to Rockvillesto
stand trial for the Jones Staying on
writ of habeas corpus.
Neither sentence will conflict with
the other, however. 1t was said that

the finger of suspicion points at one

about, and with their intimate knowledge
OF several languages, 1t was not difficult to
camoufage whatever tenderness they de-
sired to express to each other, without
having those about them know what they
we're talking about French history was
entirely forgotten and ignored in their
anionship-especially that which per
tanned to the Bourbons, Bonapartes, Mu-
rats and other possible historic bugbears
to their new-found happiness.
When the prince became so well that
there was no possible excuse to allow him
to remain another day at the hospital, an
affectionate parting occurred which came
as a surprise to the attaches OF the insti
tuition, who had, perhaps, been too busy
to notice the romance that was developing
under their very eyes. ...
As the gossip spread throughout the
various wards Of the hospital, one OF the
medical staff remarked: "Well, that ought
to prove that we can cure anything at the
American ~Hospital-even royal blood
feuds."
And now they are to be married. Per
haps even more remarkable than the love
affair OF these young people Is the fact
that their families have forgotten their an.
cient feud and consented to their marriage
II Is n sign OF new state of feeling after
the war.
Some Frenchmen even believe that the
union has great political significance,
that II forecasts a union OF the Royalist
and Bonapartist parties who will agree
upon a common candidate for king or en-.
peror OF France. To all serious-minded
persons who appreciate the immense
strength the French republic has shown
during the last fifty years and during the

great war, this view appears ridiculous In
the extreme, but still 1t adds interest to
the romance. .
The Murats are regarded as Of more i'm
portance than any Of the other Napoleonic
families, for they have the blood OF the
great Emperor in their veins. Joachim
Murat, the innkeeper's son, married Caro-.
line Bonaparte, sister OF the Emperor, and
from this union the present members OF
the Murat family are descended.
Murat was entitled Imperial Highness"
by Napoleon, an honor otherwise only
given to those bearing the name Of Bona
parte. Then he was created King OF Naples
by the Emperor. the highest reward given
to any Of the Napoleonic mafshals. Murat

vasion OF the Tuileries by the mob. De.
pising the weakness OF the King who failed
to stop this outrageous intrusion into his
palace, the young soldier wrote in his
diary: ...
"one day l will occupy that palace in
place Of the fool who sits there to-day"
Throughout the Empire the Bourbons
persistently intrigued against Napoleon.
The Emperor added greatly toJthe bitter
ness existing between the two dynasties
by seizing the most popular member of the
Bourbon family, the Due d'Enghien, on
neutral territory, and causing his execution
without trial before dawn in the moat OF
Vincennes. ~
Then fortune turned the tables once
more. Upon the restoration OF the Bour-
bons to the throne in 1915, Napoleon went
into exile and many of his great lieutenants
faced death or ruin.
Yet again was the Napoieonic faction to
regain ascendency. In 1852 Napoleon Ill,
nephew Of the great Emperor, regained the
imperial throne. He Immediately invited
to his court all the surviving members of
the great Napoleonic families, such as the
Murats, the Neys, the Berthiers and the
Lannes, in order to give the right historic
atmosphere to his reign. {.
At the same time he exiled the Bourbon
princes from France and deprived them of
their property.
In 1870 the Napoleonic dynasty fell again,
and since then the Republic has treated
both Napoleonic and Bourbon princes with
impartial severity.
There is peculiar chapter of family his
tory behind the little Princess Nina Murat
the heroine Of the present romance. When
the great Murat of Napoleon's day perishsd
he left his family homeless and in danger
OF persecution. His two sons, with little
left to them but a famous name were
obliged to seek their own fortunes. One
remained in France, and the proof that he
surmounted the difficulties OF his position
Is shown by the fact Il was his luxurious
home near the Place des Etats Unis which
his grandson was able to place at the dis
position OF President Wilson when he
came to Paris to make the peace which
Americans have not et'enjoyed
The other brother decided to seek his
fortune In the East and set forth from
Marseilles for Constantinople in q sailing
vessel which was wrecked on the rocky
coast of the island Of Cyprus. The prince
wished to resume his voyage, but his wife
refused to take any further chances on the
sea and, as Is often the case even in
royal families, the weaker sex showed
itself the stronger and won the argument.
They remained in Cyprus. and Il was there
that their granddaughter, the Princess
Nina, was born.
