a year income) did not antici-

coming of age. am, however,
engaged to Prince Alexis MIDI
vani, who resides in Paris,
France, and our marriage will
take place there on or about
June 20, 1888. My marriage to
Prince Mdivani and the plans
which have been made in con-
nection with the intervening
months before I become of age
will necessarily entail heavy ad-
ditional expenditures, whic h
were not anticipated by me or
by my father when the previous
order was applied for.
II have discussed the amount
of these necessary expenditures
with my father, and both he and
I estimate that they will amount
to at least 100000 a year. I
therefore ask that in addition to
the sum authorized to be ap-
piled out of my income by my
father for my support, my
father and general guardian be
authorized to expend or apply

Admission of
ManSlaughter

NEW YORK, July il U.N.S0.
Mrs. Margo Bathelt, Park Avenue
heireSs, today was believed pre-
pairing to apply for an annulment
of her marriage to playboy John
Paul Bathelt, who pleaded guilty
to second degree manslaughter
charges yesterday in Northamp-
ton, Mass.
Bathelt was sentenced to life
imprisonment for the grisly
cement coffin Staying of Charles
Norris, a former racetrack associ-
ate.
1t is believed Mrs. Bathelt will
base her case on the admission
of her husband that he killed
Morris exactly six days before he
married her.

Child First Concern

She leaned over and touched the
small, dark head "Oh, WE'LL" she
said, IF it's for his good
Her first concern was for her
child.
That, believe, is what brought
about first her remuneration of
her American citizenship-and
second, her separation from her
husband.
That is why the Count Haug-
witz-Reventlow will find himself
dealing with very different
woman and a very different fight
than ever suave young Alexis MIDI
vani knew.
Then, she was spoiled, little
Self-centered in spite of her gen.
eroSity, and very unhappy and dis
illusioned.
And money wasn't very impor-
tant. She gave away millions con-
Stantly-and why shouldn't she
settle a million on her husband,
If she wanted to?
And I find in the records at
that time an amazing document
which it seems to me explains
completely Barbara's state OF
mind. On June Is, four days be
fore her marriage, the following
affidavit was presented to Surro
gate Pelletreu. an affidavit signed

COUNT TO FIGHT
FOR A PART IN
CONTROL OF SON
Hopes for An AmiCabIe
Pact With Barbara
BY KINGsBURY SMITH

LONDON, July IA 0.N.SO-For
the first time in weeks of marital
strife, Count Court Haugwitz-
Reventlow probably will see his
son Lance within day or two.
Ready to fight for q share in the
upbringing of the 'two-year- old
child in whom he places his hopes
for the future of the ancient
feudal house of Haugwitz-Revent-
low, the count is comforting today
with the solicitors who steered him
through a court battle with
Countess Barbara.
The question of the counts pos
session of the boy during certain
periods of the year and the pos
sibility of an understanding with
the American heiress regarding
Lance's education will be taken up
at once.
The meeting between the emo
tional count and the boy, far too
young to know that he is partially
the cause of his parents rift, prob
ably will take place at Courts
hotel or some friends home, since
he promised in Bow Street Court
not to visit Winfield House unless
Barbara asks him to come back.
The disconsolate figure of
Count Court, pictured in newSpa-
pers as alone. sad-faced, striving
for legal permission to see his son,
was arousing English sympathy
for him today.
A shoal of sympathetic letters
was received by the count in the
mornings mail, many of them
from total strangers, wishing him
luck.
To a friend, the count said:
mo one can help being i'm
pressed by the essential fairness
and sense of justice of the Eng
liSh people.
I'm coming back to England
from France to face the charge
brought against me, did what
any other man would have done.
feared nothing. Were a charge
of any sort brought against me,
would face it,"
Count Court intends to remain
in London indefinitely, in close
contact with Norman Birkett, his
lawyer, to combat any effort Bar
bara may make to gain complete |
control of Lance.

Wanted Second Baby

But I remember now, rather
sadly, that Barbara was very
pleased when I said the baby
looked like his father and she said,
"Yes, 1 think so, and now we want
to have a little girl and my hus-
band hopes she will look like me. :"
1t was seeing the five-and-ten-
cent store millionairess with her
baby that convinced me of the
enormous change in her. There
could be no question that she was
absolutely mad about her boy

But our marriage wasn't at
all what 1 thought it was going

Just for that moment, she
looked stricken. And she would
! say no more, no word of that
short, hectic marriage to Mdivani.
But it was plain enough that it
had left scar that will always be
there.
They were married in June 1888.
In November, Barbara came into
her fortune of between IS and so
millions. And in June, 1884, just
year after their marriage, came
her collapse and the frantic cables
summoning Franklyn Hutton to
his daughters side.
