IT'S a pulp-fiction plot that could have come straight from a dime novel. But claims that the rightful heir to Ireland's premier dukedom faked his death in the First World War and lived a secret life in Canada prompted an investigation by the British government and a ruling this week by Lord Falconer, the country's secretary of state for constitutional affairs.
The story, he concluded -- despite the submission of DNA evidence and documents purporting to support the claim -- has not been proved.
A California businessman, who claims to have traced his family roots -- via Winnipeg -- to what was once one of Britain's most illustrious families, is expected to appeal the decision and renew his fight to replace Oxfordshire gardener Maurice Fitzgerald, 59, as the "legitimate" ninth Duke of Leinster.
Paul Fitzgerald, a 40-year-old San Francisco construction manager, has taken up the battle waged by his late father, Leonard, and a great-aunt in Scotland -- Winnipeg-born Theresa Caudill -- to reclaim a title they say was lost when Fitzgerald's grandfather Desmond pretended to have been killed in wartime Europe in 1916 and relocated to the Manitoba capital to serve as the Irish revolution's Canadian point man.
No great fortune is at stake in the dispute; Carton House, the family's ancestral mansion near Dublin, was sold in the 1920s but remains a major tourist attraction and link to the dukedom's history. A guaranteed seat in the House of Lords was taken away when recent reforms ended the automatic right of hereditary peers to a place in the Upper Chamber.
But Fitzgerald told the Daily Telegraph last year that "the title meant everything to my father and it is for him that I wish to retain it. None of this is about money; there is none. It is about one's rightful heritage."
On Wednesday, the decades-long dispute, and a three-year legal fight -- reported to have cost Caudill more than $2 million -- yielded a disappointing result for her and her nephew, the California claimant.
"Following careful consideration of the competing claims to the Dukedom and Viscountcy of Leinster," Falconer ruled, "the secretary of state is not satisfied that the claim of Paul Maurice Fitzgerald has been made out" and "is satisfied that the evidence produced on behalf of Maurice Marquess of Kildare establishes his claim to have succeeded to the Dukedom of Leinster."
The issue came to the British cabinet because the Department of Constitutional Affairs is responsible for ensuring the legitimacy of any peer eligible for election to the House of Lords, which still reserves a block of seats for hereditary members.
Although Fitzgerald's claim was rejected, "a right of appeal by way of petition to the Queen is open to the unsuccessful party," said a statement sent from Falconer's office to CanWest News Service. Fitzgerald and Caudill are reportedly planning to launch an appeal.
Among the evidence submitted by Caudill to Falconer were DNA samples from her father's body and documents detailing the family's life in Canada, including letters exchanged between Desmond Fitzgerald and his brother Edward, the seventh Duke of Leinster.
Desmond had allegedly agreed that Edward, would inherit the dukedom for one generation but that Desmond's own offspring would later be permitted to reclaim the title.
In one 1931 letter, which Caudill showed last year to the Daily Telegraph, Desmond wrote: "I leave you to enjoy what is rightfully mine (but)you cannot in all fairness expect me to stand by and see my own child deprived of his rights."

Mickailoff followed through on his plans to go west and in 1933 promoted shows in Winnipeg, Calgary, Regina, and probably other towns. He wasn't very successful. Mickailoff was said to have lived in the Ivan Apartments on River Ave. in Winnipeg where he shared his apartment with wrestlers who would drive in for shows.

Prairie earthquake
Saskatoon’s first recorded earthquake occurred in 1909. At 9:15 p.m. on May 15, 1909, an earthquake shook the city, lasting between 30 seconds and one minute. The quake was felt from Winnipeg to Lethbridge and from St. Paul to Prince Albert. Saskatoon’s reaction to the quake appeared in the May 16, 1909 Phoenix.

As she was of Russian descent, a Russian diplomat seduced her into passing them supposedly secret documents she had decoded, thus precipitating the Igor Gouzenko affair which helped launch the Cold War.

Re: the troubadours: I've wondered if it was some kind of tongue-in-cheek 'threat' or warning toward the Beatles who had either returned or were on their way to India during this time, weren't they ? The Fab four naturally received alot of publicity for this 'stunt' and perhaps the Stones, as their bad-boy rivals, were taking-a-piss at them. Ironically if you like, the Beatles manager,Brian Epstein, died while the Beatles were in India and the funeral hastened their return.
