HOHENZOLLERN SCANDAL.
WIFE OF EX-KAISER’S SON. CITED AS CO-RESPONDENT. (Press Association. —Copyright.) (Received 9.20 a.m.) Berlin, March 10. Details of a remarkable Hohenzollern family scandal are being -aired at Potsdam, where Princess Eitel Frederick, the wife of the ex-Kaiser’s second son, is cited as co-respondent by Baroness Plattenberg. The Princess confessed that she knew Baron Plattenberg, who is a Prussian Guards officer, intimately many years ago, when both were unmarried. She added: “Our relations continued even after my marriage to the Kaiser’s son. My husband knew everything.” The judge asked the Princess, whose haughty manner aroused the Republican Court’s anger, whether the statements were true. She replied: “I swegr it with the greatest possible pleasure.” Baroness Plattenberg, in evidence, said that immediately after her marriage, Princess Frederich telephoned for Baron Plattenberg, who left her and went to the Princess’s Berlin residence.
