He declares he prae- no fraud upon hor and that since she Is “middle-aged and not an im- preasionable girl, she went into the marriage with her eyes open.” Further, the Duke asserts that “be- cause of he radvanced age, their re- Jations were not as happy as they should be. He @ays when he came here in July he waa welcomed by his wife and Hanan at Narragansett, and later lived in a New York hotel at Hanan’ invitation, and that the weparation of himself and the Duch- ess, “because of her physical disa- bility,” wae discussed. He charges that Hanan offered to pay him a weekly allowance if he would consent not to contest the suit, but that he spurned the “bribe.” “II ts more than I can believe,” said Mr. Hanan to-day to @ reporter for The Evening World at his home, No. 1073 Fifth avenue. “It sounds like fiction, But every incident is bitterly true. “To me the biggest surprise of all is that this man should have been able to lead a double fe in Europe and in New York for several years ‘When he courted my sister he swore | 2. me that his life had been cleaz, “He brought letters from prominent persong in Europe, who vouched for him, He was introduced to me by an Ttalian nobleman whose name I shall Then came the courtship er, who, mind )ou, was not really in love with the Duke. “Tt.e unprineipled man simply won “Ih. by his perseverance.

ARREST FOR STREET FIGHT BARES CONVICTION. The Duke was arrested for taking part in a street fight, the charge against him being equivalent to dis- Mr. Hana: was travelling with the newly married pair, learned from the police that three years before the Duke had been cashier of a hotel in Paris, had disappeared with $600 in money and some jewels and in his absence, in accordance with French Procedure, had been sentenced to three years in prison. When Mr. Hanan visited the Duk in his coll the millionaire exclaimed: “What did you ever do this for? Why did you lie to me before you ‘won my sister's hand? “How could you expect me to spoil my future prospects?" waa the Duke's teply, according to Mr, Hanan. Thus the wedding journey was broken up. Previously, Mr. Hanan says, the Duke had treated his wife cruelly on the yacht and ehe was glad to get rid of Rim. She came to New York with her brother, Mr, Hanan retained private detectives, who made some amazing discoveries about the life of the Duke. First, it is said, it was learned that while Durazzo belonged to a noble family, it waa o “moth-eaten" one which, back in the thirteenth ‘ec:atury, had amounted to something. The Duke's father, It was reported to Mr. Hanan, was an inveterate gambler and died at a gaming table. The fact that the Duke had been convicted of a crime furnished grounds in this State for an anoul- ment mult, While such action wan being considered the Duke wrote to @very member of the Hanan family ‘and in one of hie missives demanded $80,000. His communications were ig- nored and the sult wae begun. THREATENED WITH IRTA- TION, DUKE VANISHES. At the same time Mr. Hanan, armed with documents to prove many startling things about the Duke's early life, and with the letter manding $50,000, was preparing to take two steps, One was to submit the $50,000 demand to the District- Attorney and the other was to have the Duke deported as an undesirable alien. But the Duke did not wait for such action, He disappeared from New York, Before moving away from these parts, however, His Grace filed an an- swer to the Duchess’s sult. It was an answer that caused Mr. Hanna to grit bis teeth and regret he had not taken steps to have the Duke deported. “This thing ought to be spread all over the United States,” sald Mr. Hanan to-day. “It is the strongest sermon against marriages between American girls and foreigners that can be preached. Why, mind you, I took every precaution to look up this ‘royal flusb’ of ® Duke long before giving my consent to the marriage. Here is the way it all came about: “As I said, ap Italian nobleman in- troduced the Duke to me three years ago. I met him afterward in Rome and Naples. In October, 1913, I was somowbat eurprised when the Duke came to me and asked for the priv- lege of addressing my alster. He told me he bad corresponded with my sister for @ year and that he wanted to marry her. “He seemed then to be all right. He persons in New York. and they had received him socially. The names of those persons I shall not reveal, It is not my intention to try this affe'r im the papers, but I want certain p@blicity given as a warning to other American women, “Well, I told the Duke the question and added, ‘Tf you will answer cer- tain questions I will consider the “He sald he welcomed questioning. as I supposed, The results were sati factory to me.
