PRINCESS SEEKS ANNUL
MENT OF MARRIAGE.
ROME. Sept S. The application of
Princess Rosptgliost, who was Miss
Marie Reed, of Washington, D. C for
the annulment of her first marriage
with Frederick Parkburst of Bangor,
Me., Involves a point of canon law,
the decision of which is considered
in church circles to affect thousands
of marriages of Catholics and non
Catholics In the United States. The
application for the annulment was
filed 10 months ago. It Is now said
that the principal reason of the de
lay is because the propaganda was
unwilling to decide in favor ef , the
kuppllca.it on a point which might
possibly raise the question of the le
gality of another marriage.
The princess, lawyers expect to se
cure an annulment on the ground that
there is no trace .of a dispensation
having been either granted or read
In the church at the time of the mar
riage, which, according to canon law.
Is indispensable, as Mr. Parkhurst was
a non-Catholic. The American clergy,
men say that the formalities are gen
erally omitted, and a decision in favor
of the princess contention will affect
thousands of similar jasss. . Toe law
yers have Just formally complained of
the delay in reaching a decision, which
they attribute to malevolence.
