MONK RASP'UTIN
IN NEWS AGAIN
Russian Woman Claims NOtO-
ri0us Priest Was Her
Father; Files Suit

Paris, June 15.-(AP)-A woman
staining to be the daughter Of the
Monk Rasputin, one time confessor
for the late Russian Czarina. has
filed damage suit for 81 600. 900
for the assassination of her father
against Prince Felix Youssopoff and
Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovitch.
The woman bases her claim for
damages on evidence in a book by
Prince Youssopoff which is just APP
pearing in Paris in which the Eek
ecution" Of the mysterious Monk is
described and Prince Youssopoff and
Grand Duke Dmitri are named as
principals.
The name of the plaintiff is Ma
dame Marie Gregoriena Rasputin.
aged thirty, widow of Boris Solovieff.
Her counsel said today that her
claim to be the legitimate daughter
of Rasputin and Feodorovna Doub-
rovine is fully shown by papers
which she has produced.
Gregory Rasputin, the son of a
poor peasant, obtained great influ-
ence with the late Russian Empress
through what she believed was his
mystic power in preserving the
health of her son, the Grand Duke
Alexis. whose life had more than
once been despaired of.
Poison Fails, Is Shot
Ignorant and notorious for his de-
baucheries, Rasputin was hated by
a section of the Russian court which
was powerless because of his in
fluence over the Czarina. A supreme
effort to free the empire and the
dynasty from his influence was made
by a small group Of men Of the
highest social position in 1916 and
Rasputin was shot dead on Decem-
Der is, after an attempt at poisoning
him had failed.
The killing took place at the Yous-
sopoff palace and among the group
present were the Grand Duke Dmitri
Pavlovitch, Prince Youssopoff and
M. Purichkevich. Rasputin's body
was thrown under the ice of a canal.
The Grand Duke was later sent to
Persia to join fighting column and
Price Youssopoff was ordered to
leave the capital and to be informed
in his estate.
The death of Rasputin was ter
rife shock to the empress and she
had his body transferred to the park
OF Tsarskoe Selo where a special
chapel was erected. She was said to
have come every night to pray on
his grave.
Prince Felix Youssopoff visited
the United States in 1926,
