ORLOW,
O.N. / SALVATOR, Johann: Archduke
Elderly Man Who
Died in Bronx Hospital Monday Proves Missing Arch
Duke
NEW YORK, April 3 – Friends of the elderly
man who died in a Bronx hospital Monday under the name of O.N. Orlow,
doctor of philosophy, but whose death certificate bears the name of
Johann Salvator, long mysteriously missing Arch Duke of Austria, today
turned their eyes to Rio de Janerio for proof of the contention that he
was the long sought member of the house of
Hapsburg.
Documentary evidence proving
conclusively that “O.N. Orlow” was in reality the Austrian nobleman, was
believed to have been left by him with friends in the South American
city, several years ago.
This information
became known yesterday, at the time several persons of noble birth
affirmed their belief that the dead man was the missing archduke, second
cousin to the late emperor Franz Joseph. The vicomte, Henry De Fries, an
Austrian nobleman and friend of “Orlow” said he was convinced the
distinguished and courteous elderly man was what he claimed to be,
although a Vienna court, after a long investigation, had decreed the
archduke Johann to have been killed in a shipwreck in 1890. The Vicomte,
also said he and several other persons of noble birth; also convinced
that “Orlow” in reality was the archduke, would attend his funeral
service. These will include, he said, the Princess Marie De Bourham and
Madame Francis De Splacissy.
“Salvator” funeral
arrangements for which have not yet been completed, will include
services for Miss Grace Wakefield 51 year old ward of the Archduke, who
committed suicide the day after his death. After the funeral, which
probably will be held in historic St. Mark’s-in-the-Bouwerie, Miss
Wakefield’s body will be cremated with those of two parrots and a pet
Spaniel which she downed just before she killed herself. [Olean Evening
