EARL SEEKS PARDON
 TO CLAIM HIS TITLE
Dr. Stirling Claims Bigamy Conviction Illegal in
 Arizona

Phoenix, Arjz., Dec. IS UP) --- Dr. Alan Alexander Stirling, soldier Of fortune successor to the earldom Of Sterling and one Of two heirs to an $S,50o,000 estate, asked the Ari- zona supreme court today to set aside his prison sentence for bigamy.
 The 3S-year old physician who earned the disapproval of his late grandfather, the 18th Earl of Ster- ling, by joining the forces of Pancho Villa in Mexico and later the Nic- araguan revolt of Sandino, may be- come an important member of the British pccrage if he wins his free dom.
 The irony in Dr. Strings case vas that he married his first wife 10 comply with his grandfather's will and thus lay claim to the title of l7th Earl of Sterling. Tho title carries with il tho huge fortune, three coal mines, and practical own crship Of the Islc Of Arron, a British possession ruled by tho Earls O. Sterling for 4oo years.
 The 18th earl died in 1928, leay- ing his estate to Dr. Stirling and the lattcrs cousin, now Niscount Ster- ling, The will an exhibit at the doc tors trial, required each to mary within d year of the earls death, failing which each would be cut off with q shilling.
 Dr. Stirling married Elsa Worch at Sunburst, Mont, October 8, 1928. They separated, he told the court, when he returned from a profession al trip to find her with another man. She described this man as her first husband. the doctor said.
 Dr. Stirling came to Arizona, where on June 25. 1923, he was married to Virginia Hovatter, IS, Of NelIton. He was convicted of biga- my and sentenced to from six tc nine years in prison. At his trial he said he had evidence of a former marriage Of his first wife which would have voided their own we'd ding. He testified this evidence sank with the liner Tahiti in mid-Pacitic.
