Berlin May 21 Special One of the last male links to the fate of Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, Count Karlau Leiningen Neudenga, 66, died recently at Lahr in Baden. He escaped capture at Querétaro in 1867, served briefly in the French Foreign Legion, later faced succession loss in 1869, remarried in 1902, and spent his remaining years in comparative affluence in Wiesbaden. The obituary notes his ties to the mediatized house of Leiningen and his Mexican episode under Maximilian. The article also contains a brief, unrelated note on spot welding and a weather-brief line.
