Miss Catherine Frances Lynn, aged 22, of Marcella street, Roxbury, who married the prince in Tremont Tem- ple, while he still. was the husband of a Connecticut girl, is mother of the child, according to court records and her admissions. John Joseph Van Buren, a curly- haired, blue-eyed boy, is the innocent victim behind the tragedy of the wild- fire romance of the dashing “prince” with Miss Lynn. p Has Never Seen Son On the verge of a collapse as a re. sult of the expose of the ‘‘prince” which has revealed her illegal mar- riage, Miss Lynn yesterday sobbed out the story of her son, -whom the “prince” has never seen. “And it probably seems horribly eruel, but I have not seen my little boy fer two years' the pretty miss whose life was wrecked by her affair with the bogus nobleman, said yes- terday. “Jimmy, that’s what I call him— NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1922, hushand, I went out into the world to try and scrape enough together for the two of us. 1 did, We never starved “I kept the baby with me always during the first year. I worked a stenographer during that time. But my family considered I was disgrac- ed. 8o just sonny and me lived to- gether. We boarded out and a wom- an attended him at day. “Then two years age my brother, learning that Doctor Van Buren was the biggest fake that ever lived, that he was nothing but a thief and a bigamist, told me I should have my marriage annulled, “This was like another horror. As it was, sonny had a father—a no good father, who was going around the country posing as a nobleman, a mil. llonaire and what not, but never once sending a penny or a letter to two of his victims back here, Child Is Adopted “What to do about the boys future was another thing. Just to look at him made me ery. Seeing him recalled to me always the tragedy that had overcast my life. ‘‘One of my relatives came to my help. She took the boy. And she took him on the condition that she would bring him up te manhood, would adopt him as one of her own. “As for myself, I could face the world for myself. No one wanted me. ‘There was no alternative. I am the mother of the boy. I could not act to him, as his own father had done. 8o I gave him to my relative —living many miles outside of Bos- ton. “Since that day I have never seen him. TIt's two years ago. “Do you think the ‘prince’, travel- ing de luxe about the country and marrying other girls, as the news- papers say, should be allowed to es- cape? Let anybody consider the heartaches of myself, Two years' dreaming of a flaxen-haired boy—my own boy—and never an actual glimpse of him. “‘But there are still greater heart- aches ahead of me. I am going through with my agreement to allow my relative to adopt the boy. The adoption proceedings were to have been started within a few days. Has Taken Mother’s Name. “It means for my boy a good home, perhaps a good education. And per- haps he shall never know. We have named him John Joseph Lynn—he has taken his mother's name. “It s fate! I have lost my friends —=all my friends because of this latest discovery into my life. Again, my relatives have disowned me. That is all, except my sister-in-law. She s a mother herself and she knows my feelings. ‘“There is nothing for me, it seems but to get another start. My prayers are that my boy, whom I brought into the world with all the love of & pure and true mother, will have the best and that his father will soon go behind jail bars.” Reports from New York yesterday indicated that “His Roya! Highness" has escaped from the law’s clutches, at least for the time being. Legal machinery necessary to bring about his capture and punishment already are in motion, however. Cheated Landlady, is Charge. Further investigation yesterday of the affairs of the “Prince” in Boston disciosed that he had pursued a most daring and fiction-like existence. Quiney police took an interest in him by statements that he had de- parted from Quincy owing to a land- lady of a lodging house there $300. Dr. J. Francis Condrick of Quincy, formerly assistant surgeon at the Fore River Hospital, Quincy, gave an insight on a few of the frivolities engaged in by the “prince’” while he was employed at the hospital as “Dr. Van Buren.” ““He was a slick looking guy, all right,"” Dr. Condrick said.’ All dressed up in a tall silk hat and a dress suit, carryfng a medical kit with a Red Cross on {t, Dr. Van Buren came to the hospital in the summer of 1919 and applied for a place on the hos- pital staff. CASTORIA For Infants and Children InUse For Over 30 Years “He sald he had recently returned from overseas, where he had been a physiclan with the Red Cross forces at the front, At that time there was no opening on the hospital staff, but 1 offered him a place as an ‘attendant at $20 a week, Fired at Hospital, “T was thoroughly amazed when he jumped at it. But even as an attend- ant he was called in the hospital ‘Dr, Van Buren. e didn’t last as an attendant very long, though, let me assure you. The first time he was called upon to dress a wound—well, that ended him. He knew absolutely nothing about it. So we made him a clerk. He hopped right to it. “The ‘doctor' came to grief, though, when he proved himself entirely in- efficient even as a clerk. He didn't seem to have the knack of doing any- thing but wearing sporty clothes. Wife Brought His Trousers, “And let me say that his clothes were all the latest and the best. Why, one night he came into the hospital wearing a full dress suit, a monocle, a cane, spats, etc., all ready to pro- ceed with his duties as a clerk. Some- thing happened! A little later he came to me and complained some- body had stolen his trousers—and $60. “He was just out of luck. He tele- phoned his wife. She came hurrying over with another pair of trousers for him., “He was a hopeless case and finally had to be dismissed on the grounds of inefficieney.” His broken-hearted Boston bride, Miss Lynn, laughed between her tears yesterday, in verifying the account of having to rush to the ‘“doctor's” res- cue with a pair of trousers. Still in New York. New York, Aug. 8.—Somewhere in this city, his whereabouts unknown to the police who seek to question him about his adventures, and strip- ped of the gaudy uniform of the Russian general staff, “Prince Louis Henr{ de Cateroux de Bussigny de Bourbon,” otherwise known as Har- old Schwarm, is playing a different role from that of the dashing if some- what simple-minded officer who dazzled Riverside drive with his spangles and tinsel. Further information regarding his activities here and at several of the penal institutions was disclosed by the authorities. If Harold, or Louls, or whatever he may call himself now, had only stuck to his vocation of cook he would have been able to become anything else he liked, doctors and attendants at the Metropolitan hospital on Blackwell's Island said yesterday. For he cooked there, and he cooked at Randall's Island and at several other places after he left Boston, which he 414, according to the authorities, at the request of the Boston police. But at Blackwell's the terms of ‘‘cook” and “steward” were too menial for “Prince Louis,” sgghe termed himself “doctor” and "hifd a secretary,” the doctors sald yesterday, laughing mer- rily over his latest adventures. Eludes Friend on Street. And “His Highness' has not left the city, according to one of his friends, who saw him from a distance yes- terday walking along Fifth avenue When the friend tried to overtake him Louls darted down a side street. His girl wife has left him and gone away with an unknown woman, it is said, and rumor has her at the home of her parents, somewhere in The Bronx. The theory that she was the daughter of a wealthy Brooklyn law- yer was exploded yesterday at “the island,” where it was said she had It doesn’t look like a comfort shoe— but its name is the Relief —and it is. The extra large space at the joint is cleverly concealed, so that the pump is attractive as wéll as comfortable. And been a stenographer and had not much money. The rumored rift in the lute be- tween the girl and her husband, to whom she was married in Connectis cut under his full “title,”” was caused by the publicity given the escapades of the man in Boston, Bridgeport, New Britaln and other places, where, the authorities say, he has a police and matrimonial record. At the fsland the girl was known as Lil- lian Wilkomerson, but when she was married to the “Prince’” her name was glven as "Lilllan Van de Vere was the name used by Harold or Louls or Henrl when he cooked on the island. After cooking hours there he would promenade the reservation in a Tuxedo coat, dirty white shirt, spats, monocle and cane. Calls Nobility Impossible, That Louis could not possibly be any relative of the Bourbon family was stated yesterday by Napoleon de Remont, an artist, who put in an ap- pearance Sunday. M. de Remont said he had appeared in the matter to see why the "Prince” had not an- swered a letter De Remont wrote to him, offering to help him out of his This| dificulty, To be a Bourbon Louis would have to be at least 45 years of age, M. de Remot said, as the last Bourbon fought in the Algerian cam- palgn in 1894, According to De Re- mont, who claims to be really a French descendant from the nobility, the prince {s “all the bunk."” And through it all "Terrible Terry," the “Prince's” amanuensis and gen- eral man of all work, sits sorrowfully on the steps of the royal suite looking down toward the Riverside coal yards, bemoaning the luck that his idol should have busted so soon, and mourning the loss of $50 he advanced. EPIDEMIC FATALITIES, Uniontown, Pa., Aug. 8-—Four cases of diphtheria resulting in one death at a striking miners camp at Gray's Landing, near here, and an epidemic of typhoid fever at a tent colony near Brownsville held attention of author- {ties today. At Gray's Landing barbed wire had been strung around the camp to serve as a quarantine, Thirteen typhold victims were in a local hospital today from the Browmsville camp.

My relatives had dis- owned me because of my marriage to him. T had no one. I was alone to bear my troubles. “I knew I could locate the docter if I wished to notify him of the birth of ‘my sonny—and his sonny. But I dispised him for his contemptible act I never wrote to him. I never told him that a son had come into the world. © “Dr. Van Buren, of course, knew the boy was to be born. But at no time during my trouble did he write ,me, nor did he ever write to me later to ask about his own son. I should nevet have told him anyway. “But there was one consolation. My boy looked llke me. He is the picturc of his mother. He in no way resembles the creature who is his father. And I pray thanks to the Al- _mighty for that.
