disnheritance, indicating change in the Wis
counts heart, it is asserted
Barely nine months later came another
codicil as short as ii was VITAL revolxing Her
Ladyships absolute control Of the residuary
estate The revocation comedies with Viscount
Furness' grave operation and the rumors of
Ends alleged callousness toward the sick
man.
The date was September, 1889, but on the
first of the following July, came astound-
ing reversal of things, in the fourth codicil
1t not only reinstated her in possession Of what
the previous one had taken away, but also
handed her the princely gift of nearly
$4,000 900!
Also, as the lawyers interpret it, the codicil
virtually disinherits Tony, his son by Thelma.
Then came the last codicil, which to Thelma
is the last straw, made just before Lord Fur
ness death and signed only with a feebly-
scratched initial Of" It's rather interesting
phraseology, is as follows:
TT being my wish that my dear wife Enid
should purchase the Villa Florentine, at Cap
Ferrat Alpes Maritimes, France, after my
death, for her absolute use and benefit, 1
hereby bequeath to her absolutely the sum of
twenty thousand pounds ($100,00O) free of
duty, in addition to all the other benefits under
my Will and Codicils"
The question at issue is whether these are
the acts Of a man in his clear and sober
senses, or the ones Of drug fuddled mind
Lady Furness denies that any pressure was
brought to bear, or that he was in anything
but a properly-devising condition of mind
when signing the codicils.
She cannot be blamed for that fantastic
trip led by Marquis who seemed to turn into
a brigand, for there Is no evidence that she
went along or approved the expedition.
Also her judgment in vetoing the escape
on the yacht Sister Ann" though it turned
out TO be a mistake. seemed no more than
common prudence at the time.
Her defense is embarrassed by the fact
that most witnesses TO Lord Furness condition
while at Cap Ferrat are still in France where
II is almost impossible to get them across the
Channel TO testify in an English Court.
on the other hand, Thelma who should
be her own star witness. is also forced by the
war TO remain far from the legal battlefront

gether some picture of what may have been
Christopher's last moments. On April 6, 1941,
II was presented to Mr.. Justice Hodson Of the
Probate Court, in an application to presume
death in proving the young officers estate.
His brother officers testified that during
the tragic May of 1910. Dick, although wound
ed, had insisted on remaining with his men.
Their last glimpse had been of Dick, spread
eagled on top of a tank, firing Bren gun,
at the hordes of Germans surrounding his de-
tachment.
But is he really dead?
The Court itself answered Eyes and no."
1t held that he was presumably dead as re-
CARDS his personal estate amounting to only
about SIS, 900 but still alive as far his in
terests in inheriting his fathers title and for
tune are concerned.
1t is known that some Of the French peas
ants are hiding a few of the English stragglers
at the risk Of their own lives. Christopher
may be among them, although the chance is
slim.
At least Lord Furness knew his daughter
was in her grave but the question of Chris
topher's fate narrowed him to the very last.
Therefore everyone was able TO identify an
other invisible visitor TO the deathbed. at Cap
Ferrat, when His Lordship, with staring eyes,
suddenly cried out:
Dick! You are alivei Are you? Are you?
Speak lad, speak up. can't hear you"
The dying man stretched out his arms but,
apparently the vision faded, without letting
the father know. ~
If Reggie Vanderbilt was driven TO drink
by nothing more than an inferiority complex
it is not hard TO understand how such series
of blows to Lord Furness, could have the same
result and when the doctors warned him that
he must stop or die, he turned TO drugs
This is the main contention which Thema

is endeavoring to prove by large number of
witnesses including Sir Robert Lynch, Home
Office Toxicologist so 1t is alleged
She maintains that man stepped in drugs,
is not in a responsible condition, that an ad-
dict will do almost anything to appease his
craving and that this condition explains the
codicils depriving her son Tony Of what
she asserts is his rightful share in Lord
Furness' estate.
The mothers fight is entirely in the
interests of her son and yet there is the
curious possibility that should she be COM
pletely victorious. Anthony may get only
an insignificant share Of the spoils Of the
-. legal battle
There remains Christopher who is
legally still alive, as far as this estate is
concerned. He is therefore the Third
Viscount Furness.

recaptured from her successor, the present
widow,
Yet, had Thelma not brought this action
the will would doubtless have been approved in
the course Of the next few months and Chris

with little to support it
Lady Ends life, from childhood has come
under sharp scrutiny revealing a woman of
vast ambition and determination.
Ends first husband, Don Cameron, the
American, whom she married at the age of
eighteen, left her with money enough two
years later 10 get into the social circle where
she met and captivated General Cavendish.
His death left her in a much higher social
orbit where she found and captivated Lord
Furness
But his fortune is not quite in her hands
yet and, If Thelmas long array of witnesses
are believed, she may never enjoy but small
fraction of the fortune that is hers on paper.
The decisive section of her life is the period
after her marriage to Lord Furness in August,
1888, TO his recent DEATH especially the last
two years which have been shrouded in mys-
terry. However, the match seemed outwardly
at least, a typical marriage in high life for
the first four years.
The public frequently read Of their mag
nificent entertainments at Burrough Lodge,
Melton Mowbray, and their several other coun-
try places. During the London season, they
opened the great Furness house, Lees Place,
Grosvenor Square, and were noted at Doncas-
ter, Ascot and other race courses. They en-
tertained the present Duke Of Windsor, the
Duke Of Kent and other Royal personages

LONDON, oct. 4. 49, Scheduled
repatriation of British and Ger
man prisoners of war was held up
today while the British and Ger
man governments, negotiating via
the United States, argued over the
question OF sending home some of
the German civilians now informed
in the United Kingdom.
Hospital ships which were TO
take German sick and wounded
prisoners across the English Chan
mel were held in port at New
Haven. England. and there was a
possibility tonight that the whole
repatriation plan, originally in
tended 10 affect 1000 prisoners,
would fall through
According 10 the British minis
try of information, the German
government, in the course of the
negotiations, drew attention TO the
fact that the British sick and
wounded eligible for repatriation
far outnumhered. the Germans held
in Great Britain.
1t was proposed. therefore. that
the British government consent 20
exchange German civilians for
British military prisoners, but the
German government said that the
granting of this request by the
British government was not eS-
sential
The British government, how
ever, replied that twas ready TO
exchange German women. chill
dren and men over military age.
and suggested that the first batch
be made up of 90 German in
terneeS.
The German government then
replied that further time was
needed 10 consider the matter,
and that it was not prepared 10
proceed with the negotiations at
present.
The ministry of information
Stated tonight that if a reply from
Berlin is not forthcoming by to-
morrow night, the hospital ships

and the home-bound Germans sent

In the meantime 80 German
women, mostly nurses, have been
brought TO England from an in

and will be exchanged for an equal
number of British nurses now IN
German territory, if satisfactory
can be made with
The German government.
