The proposal was offered last

that the singer wouldn't fall two

At the same time, Marshall ap-

as an agreement which he made
last March to pay his estranged
spouse $4,000 down and $14,500
in four inStallments.

SYSTEM RAPED
1t is understood that Justice Ad-

spired by the recent report of the
Washington Criminal Justice AS
sociation, criticizing the bonding
system.
According to the report, the
"evils which exist are the result Of

The investigating committee will
study necessity for coordination in

STATUS UNKNOWN
At present bondsmen are limited
in the amount Of surety they can
write in Police Court only, whereas
they may write unlimited amounts

Lack of coordination between
the courts means officials do not

forbidden to write bonds in other
courts against property pledged in

by considerable uncertainty, it
was learned exclusively today.
BIG QUESTION
Yesterdays telephone contacts
between solicitors disclosed that
while the quarreling count and
countess are still perfectly willing
to discuss separation, there is
still a big question mark as to
whether the draft can be adopted
In its entirety.
One source even declared there
was no guarantee the Grown sep
aration" would go through, and
there was still a possibility that
the matter would be decided in a
Copenhagen court hearing.
Whereas, by a Grown separa-
tion," the matter leading to a di-
vorce could be arranged quietly by
the Haugwitz-R ReventlowS, in a
court hearing the family troubles
would likely be aired publicly
again.
Instead of the speedy solution
anticipated earlier this week,
matters are now expected to drag
over the weekend, with formal
meetings between the opposing
solicitors today, Monday, Tuesday
and possibly Wednesday.
