ASYLUM.
Mother Who Wants to Keep Her Daughter
The tiny Republic of San Marino is beleaguered by Italian carabinieri-and the cause of the
strange state of affairs is a little Milanese girl of ton aummers and her mother, the Marchess Bram- bilia, who have taken asylum in the hill-top Republic, where they defy those who would put into execution an order issued by an Italian court of law.
As the result of a conjugal quarrel and separation the hus- band of the Marchesa med her and obtained in the Milan law
courts an order to take his daugh ter from her mother and have the total guardianship of the child.
Before the legal machinery for the execution of this finding could be put into operation mother and child acted on the original Idea of Garibaldi's repeating
successful experiment they sought And found sanctuary in the Republic which still preserves its ancient independent rights in the midst of the kingdom of Italy.
