A GERMAN PRINCE ARRESTED IN BUDAPEST FOR VAGRANCING

London, March 21 (Petit Paris dept.) The Observer has received word from Vienna that the police have just arrested, in a Budapest park, an old man dressed in rags who, penniless and homeless, was spending the night on a bench. His identity papers proved that he was Prince Alexander Hohenlohe-Ehringen. He was taken to the police station and will be deported.
The prince, who arrived in Budapest last October, first stayed at a large hotel, which he was soon forced to leave due to being unable to pay the bill. He wandered from inn to inn until a laundress, taking pity on him, offered him temporary shelter and food. Prince Hohenlohe-Ehringen, after serving as a colonel in the Bavarian cavalry, was forced to renounce his title of prince in 1895 due to a misalliance, and then took the title of Prince of Gabelstein. Divorced at the beginning of the war, he left the German army after the armistice and married a second time in Vienna; but his wife abandoned him after he had squandered all the money she had brought him.
