GRIM REVOLUTION ECHO
DUKE SHOT, PROPERTY SEIZED ACTION IN BRITISH COURT (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 9 a.m. LONDON, Monday. Princess Paley, widow of the Russian Grand Duke Alexandrovitch, contested the right of the Soviet to confiscate or dispose of her property, in a King’s Bench action against a firm of French dealers, whose defence set out that the furniture, tapestries, carpets and pictures at present in England had legally been appropriated by the Soviet in 191 S and subsequently purchased by the defendants. The princess’s counsel stated that tbo property undoubtedly belonged to the Princess, and came from her home in Russia. After the revolution her husband was imprisoned and eventually shot in 1919. The Princess left Russia soon afterwards. Cross-examined, the Princess agreed that her husband did not give her any document showing that the property in Russia belonged to her. The case was adjourned.
