There were legends of previous appear
ances and the peasants were convinced that
they presaged some evil happening. They
rang bells and prayed in the churches and
were not surprised few months later when
the entire country was ravaged by the Great
Plague.
The apparition is said to have appeared
again during the Napolconic Wars, when the
coast Of England was in danger of invasion.
and this time possibly with really useful
effect for the spectre helped rouse the country
to its peril.
The Society for Psychic Research has been
investigating the strange phenomenon for
twenty years, and has not yet come TO a
definite conclusion There are many who be-
lieve that the ghost is animated by malignant
purpose. That Prince famed for his heroism
and generous nature should leave evil ghost
seems surprising.
But an explanation has been offered. It
appears that in his later years the Black
Prince became allied with the infamous King
Pedro the Cruel of Portugal. Under his evil
influence the Prince lost his chivalrous and
humane character and became imbued with
the cruelty of the King. He captured castle
after castle and butchered the inhabitants
At last he came to strong fortress that
seemed impregnable. 1t immense and
heavily garrisoned. In its vaults were vast
quantities Of gold and precious jewels.
In this stage of his life the Princes former
generosity and chivalry had given place to in
satiable avarice After day of ferocious
unsuccessful fighting for the castle he sat in
his tent and cursed most eloquently.
II would give my soul and everything l
ever held dear 70 possess that castle and the
gold in it's vaults" said the Prince in effect.
No sooner had he spoken than graceful
knight in black appeared TO him.
II accept your offer Prince" said the
satanic stranger. Il require you TO put
curse on your old castle in Kent, to condemn
all who possess ii TO untimely death and
sorrow"
The Black Prince repeated the oath die
tated to him by Satan. who then revealed to
him secret underground passage by which
he and his men entered the castle. The Prince
slaughtered the defenders and carried away
the gold.

more or less Of a mystery
The Countess of Limerick made public the
ghosts first visit to her years ago. On &C
quiring the castle she had declared she had no
belief in ghosts and defed the Black Prince
to disturb her
She sat up several nights watching. and
nothing happened. She said that this proved
what she had always beheved--that the ghost
was all imagination.
Then one night everything happened"
She had given up all hope of seeing the
appartion, and was chatting in the great hall
with her guest, Lady Miles Malleson The
servants had retired to their quarters
Some twenty minutes before midnight
Lady Miles screamed and pointed TO the wind
ing staircase.
Dimly outlined, and doubly terrifying be-
cause it seemed surrounded by sort of semi
transparent haze, was the appariton of a tall
knight in ancient artpor, with visor closed
and lance at rest-----
AS Lady Miles sank trembling to her knees
the Countess assuming that the intruder was
a human trckster-'"went into action"
Hanging close at hand was an ancient
mace, a spiked war club. She seized it and
started towards the staircase.
Then it was" said Lady Limerick, that
something happened. was seized with a sort
OF paralysis, wholly uuItTenl from rear.
simply couldn't move j stood if hypnotized,
while the apparition, or whatever il was lifted
one arm in gesture which seemed to signify
a general warning-and then disappeared
Again the servants were aroused, the doors
locked and the house ransacked. Nothing
found, and it seemed inconceivable that man
masquerading in heavy armor could have
escaped or hidden himself
1t was the series of Investigations that
followed which brought to light the ex-
traordinary record of the previous appear
ances Of the alleged ghost Of the Black Prince
in Kent.
One Of the earlier appearances Is said TO
have occurred in 1865, when Kentish peasants
behed the ghost in armor on the parapet of
the castle.

That is the legend which many Of IN,
credulous believe II explains many Of the
tragedies which have befallen owners of the
castle, but it is a sad reflection on the
character Of a famous hero
There are still others who assert that the
ghost is not that OF the Black Prince. but Of
his son, the unhappy King Richard II. who
was dethroned by his cousin who became King
Henry " Shakespeare attributed to Richard
famous soliloquy in which he called himself
the most wrctched man alive
Richard had lived at Hall Place and en-
joyed its luXuries. After Richards downfall
King Henry ordered his ruthless follower Sir
Piers Exton, TO take him into custody and let
him no further trouble the royal peace The
legend says that Richard escaped for a time
to Hall Place, but the warden betrayed him 10
Exton, who carried him to the strong end re-
mote castle of Pomfret and ended his life
This, say the believers in this legend would
explain why the wretched Kings ghost haunts
one of the last scenes Of his unhappy life and
brings misfortune TO those who live there
The late Lady Limerick was forced 10 be
lieve II was the Black Prince and that it BODIED
her end. Four times il appeared to her and
after the fourth time she felt there was no
hope
She was thorough going Irishwoman
Her husband the late Earl of Limerick, be
longed to an old Anglo-Irish family, but she
had straight Irish blood Her father was
Joseph Burke Irwin, OF County Limerick, and
his father was John Burke Irwin. Of Roscom-
mon, known "Hard-rdng Johnny" on ac-
count of his craftsmanship.
As president OF the London County Branch
of the British Red Cross she came TO America
in 1941 TO visit American Red Cross chapters
and express the thanks of the British people
for their war aid.
After she came into possession OF Hall
Place they told her 1t was haunted. She said
I'm not afraid Of ghosts I don't believe
in them"
After an extraordinary experience that
would make an ordinary woman scream, she
said:
1T repeat that 1 am not afraid Of ghosts
for the reason that am not afraid Of any
thing but as for believing in them we'll my
skepticsm has been more than shaken"
Her fearlessness she kept up to the end

HE death of the Dowager Countess Of
Limerick has made the superstitous

ghost of Hall Place-supposed TO be the ghost

This apparition- according to ancient

Finally, the last appearance Of the ghost to
her happened a few days ago. She had long

the battle, saying his son must keep all the

cause he wore black armor In fact he was

attacked in the Corleto, Auletta and
/ Sapri areas and at Castelnuovo,
northeast of Battipaglia.
Allied aircraft returned again
yesterday to the Italian island of
Rhodes, in the Dodecanese group
off Turkey, a Middle East air COM
munique said. American Liberators
attacked airdromes at Martha and
Calato, both hit on the previous
day by other bombers. Runways
were reported damaged and at least
six grounded aircraft set afire.-
The South African Air Force also
was credited by the Cairo announce
ment with setting an enemy cargo
vessel afire at Gavdos Island, south
of Crete, Saturday.
For the first time dispatches last
night gave an idea of the extent
of the Allied landings last Thursday
morning on the west coast OF Italy,
officially described at the time only
as in the Naples area. Action along
about 80 miles of the coastline was
reported.
Correspondent NORM said the
main highway between the southern
part of the Gulf of Salerno and the
Sele River was under full American
control, but that from the Sele to
Salerno, 18 miles to the northeast,
German 88-mm. guns prohibited use
Of the road. Salerno itself, he wrote,
still is solidly in British hands"
The fall Of Brindisi, ancient east
ern seaport Of some 1000 popula-
ton, opened up wide new possibili-
ties of Allied action. %
1t gave Gen. Eisenhower's forces
their first foothold along the Adri-
attic and springboard from which
the Balkans could be invaded. From
there and from Bari, Mussolini's
legions put forth in 1899 to invade
| Albania, less than 10 miles distant
across this narrowest neck OF the
Adriatic.
The British plunge across the heel
from laramie also presumably
brought 10 or more important Ital-
ian airields within Allied control,
including the oft-bombed field at
Grottaglie, nine miles east of the
naval base.
From these and other fields en-
folded within the rapidly-expanding
territory under control of the
9th Army on the toe, Allied airmen
are within easier striking distance

Negotiations Started
Month Before ItaIy
Stepped Out Of War
By the Associated Press.

6y tue hesOCldteu IIeess
LONDON, Sept. 13.-Negotiations
for the italian armistice were start
ed almost month before the actual
terms were laid down and Italy
stepped out of the war, an authori-
tative account of the secret sessions
has disclosed.
First overtures were made to
British officials in two unidentified
countries by emissaries of Marshal
Pietro Badoglio, who said Italy's
plight was desperate and asked for
terms, the account declared. but
they were told that the only terms
were unconditional surrender.
In the middle of August an Ital-
ian general travelled to Lisbon os-
tensibly on another mission and
went to Sir Ronald Hugh Campbell,
British Ambassador to Portugal, to
renew his plea.
He told the British he had full
authority to say for the Badoglio
government that when the Allies
landed in Italy the italians would
join them.
This was reported to the British
and American Governments, and
the Russian and British Dominion
governments also were informed.
High officials of Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower's staff and the American
charge d'affaires took part in the
negotiations.
When the terms were completely
drafted the Italian general returned
to Italy, but his trip was delayed
and the italian government, wor-
ried, sent another general who
brought with him British Gen. Car
ton de Wiart. prisoner of war, as
evidence of good faith.
The account added that the armis-
tice itself was signed by American
Gen. Bedell Smith for the Allies
and by Gen. Castellano for the
Italians. Both Gen Eisenhower and
Gen. Sir Harold Alexander were
present.
