For Marriage, Birth Date
OF George V
Copyright 1887 by United Press

MONTS, France, May 49, (UP)-The
Duke of Windsor will marry Mrs. Wallis
Warfield here June 3 with no member of
the British royal family present, Herman
l.. Rogers announced at the Chateau de
Cande today on behalf of the former king.
The announcement was published i'm an official
communique from the duke himself.
The announcement that no member of the
royal family would attend meant that the familys
official blessing the wedding despite their affec-
ton for the duke, is being withheld.
1t was interpreted victory for the British
government over the family Edwards brothers and
his mother wanted the Duke of Kent and perhaps
Mary, the princess royal, to attend and show the
world the family has not cast off the abdicated
monarch.
The government said NO. The cabinet "ad-
vised' the royal family that it does not to
show royal approval of the marriage of the former
monarch to the twice divorced American woman.
The British minister to Austria, Sir Walford
Selby and Lady Selby. closely lated with the
duke in Austria will attend the wedding if the
British foreign office allows
The wedding falls on the birthday of the dukes
late father, George "
The typewriter communque handed to the
shivering journalists who hudded in the wind and
rain at the castle gate.
The communque was headed:
Chateau de Candle, Monts, Indre-et-Loire Off
cia announcement of the Duke of Wndsors mar
riage"
The historic wedding probably will be without
the blessing of the Church of England, whose head
the Archbishop of Canterbury, opposes the marriage
1t expected civil ceremony would be per-
formed by DR.. Charles Mercier, physician to the
castle and mayor of Monts, in the presence Of the
British consul
Immediately afterwards, the royal couple-present

hghness the Duchess of Windsor-will leave for

LOVER HELPED
HER KILL BABY


NEW YORK, May l8. W.P)-Mrs.
Helen Herman, 25-year-old blonde,
petite widow, may have attempted
for months to dispose of her two
blue-eyed children so that she could
live alone with the man she loved,
it was intimated today.
While police charged Mrs. Helen
Herman. and her lover George
Christodulus, who styles himself
George Christie, with the murder
of Mrs. Tierman's blue-eyed seven
year old daughter, Helen, Owen
Connolly, her neighbor, told police
that Helen and her brother, Jimmy
4, had almost died from gas 10
months ago in what appeared then
to be an accident.
Jimmy also had been an intended
victim of a child massacre in the
woods near Brookhaven, Long Is
land. Saturday morning, but had
survived the clubbing, knitting and
fire that killed his sister. His baby
prattle led to the arrest OF his mo-
ther. For hours she tried desper-
ately to protect the man she loved,
but early today she confessed that
the Greek restaurant worker had
helped her kill her daughter.
