American Girl Wins London Damage Suit

1920

Paper Ordered to Pay $2,500 for Printing False Story

LONDON, England — Miss Gladys Deacon of Boston, sister of the Princess Radziwill, was awarded $2,500 damages in her suit against the Daily Graphic for its publication of the report that she had been expelled form Germany because of her friendship for the former Crown Prince.

Miss Deacon's lawyer said his client had met the Crown Prince before the war at Blenheim Castle, the home of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough.

Afterwards she went to school at Bonn, but never communicated with the Crown Prince and never heard from him, she said.
