Capture and imprisonment of Prince Alexander Cantacuzene, a ringleader of the outlawed anti-Semitic Fascist Iron guard, was officially announced today. The Prince was last July sentenced in absentia to nine years in Jail, a fine of $1,200 and six-year loss of civil rights for his part in the abortive Iron Guard revolutionary plot uncovered by the police earlier this year. He escaped several days after his arrest last April and was finally recaptured last Thursday.
