MARCONI SEEKS POPE’S ANNULMENT.
ROMAN CATHOLIC CANON LAW BROKEN, INVENTOR ALLEGES. By Telegraph.—Press Ass*.—Copyright. Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association. ROME, November 24. Signor Marconi interviewed the Pope and discussed the annulment of his marriage, for which a preliminary decree was granted b}' the Curia of Westminster on the ground of the defective legality of his marriage with the Lion Beatrice O’Brien. It was stated by Marconi that his wife made it a condition before marriage that she could separate whenever she wished. Marconi claims that this nullifies the marriage in the Roman Catholic canon law. It is now rumoured that Marconi is engaged to marry a member of the old Roman aristocracy. In 1905 Signor Marconi married the lion Beatrice O’Brien, daughter of Baron Inchiquin, the marriage being dissolved in 1924. after which the lady married the Marquis de Montecorona.
