HEIR TO FORTUNE
ALLIANCE WITH FOREIGN COUNTESS SET ASIDE BY AMERICAN COURT Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyrigii. NEW YORK, July 16. In ordering annulment of the marriage of Clendenin Ryan, jun., one of the , leading heirs to Thomas Fortune Ryan’s estate of 135,G00,000d01, Mr Justice Cotillo uttered a scathing attack upon “ the purchase and sale ” of foreign titles by and to Americans with large fortunes. The order sets aside an alliance which the young heir, who is now serving as one of the mayor’s secretaries, contracted with the attractive Countess Maria Ann Von Wurbrand Stuppach, of Vienna, and which the court stigmatised as “ a plot or scheme concocted in a foreign country by members of the so-called nobility or titled class who have been rendered desperate by needs engendered by poverty and a desire to obtain means to continue their luxurious existence by any method save honest effort.”-
