COUNT BABBANS FREED
 ON BIGAMY CHARGES
His First Wedding, He Says. Mas Joke Ser,ce the Ranns Never Were Formally Published.

Chalon-sur- Saone, France, Jan. 30. The Assize court has acquitted Count Ferdinand de Jouffroy Rabbans, former attache at the French em- bassy in Berlin of n charge of big amy.
 Count Babbans is member Of one of the most aristocratic families of France. He is a descendant of Mar ouis Jouffroy Babbans. who first ap- piled steam 10 navigation.
 The count was born in San Ffhncis- co while his father was French con- sul there. Al the trial it was brought out that he had married an English woman named Charlotte Grellin in Folkstone, England, in 1914. In 1919 he welded French heiress, Marie de Saint Innocent. although the first marriage was not dissolved by the court at Dijon until 1922.
 The court contended that the first wedding was only a joke and that no one ever considered 1t valid since the banns were not published in France. The judge sternly rebuked the defen- dant, asserting that he had played with the law and was trebly guilty, on account of birth, education and his association with the diplomatic sery- ice.

GOOD LUCK LETTER

The endless chain letter. which crops up ever once in while in all parts of the country against is in New Britain. This epistle. which often shows up on a postal card. but ac- cording to postal authorities usually comes in a sealed envelope upon which one cent postage must be col lected from the person to whom it is addressed, has again raised its head in this city and postal authorities are anxious to have 1t stopped.
 The letter preys on the minds of those who are inclined to be super stitious. Publication of it's contents Is said to bring bad luck to the writer, so the reporter writing this expects to get up tomorrow morning and find the furnace is out and the landlord has raised the rent
 The communication reads as fol- lows: Some smart fellow started this plan and I suppose the rest of the smart fellows will have to keep 1t up. ] am so superstitious that am afraid that If I did not go along I might lose an ear or an eye or something. But at any rate I am among the others" Then follows long list of names by which it is possible to trace the letter back to its source.
 Following the list of names comes the following: Copy this and send 1t to nine people whom you wish good luck. This chain was started by an American officer and should so around the world three times. Do not break the chain, for whoever does will have bad luck. Do it within 24 hours and count nine days and you will have good luck. With success for you and let's so smiling through 1924"
 The chain has been broken in two places, two letter have been intercept ed, 90 New Britain probably will be visited by two earthquakes nine days hence.
 There is no law against forwarding | these letters. although the system, which crops up every year or so, is discouraged by the postal department | Some time ago the New Britain postal officials took the matter up with the department at Washington and asked | if the warning of bad luck" con stituted a threat.
