May 13, 1929
The New York Times reports today that Princess Xenia of Russia, who is married to William B. Leeds, Jr., received a suspended sentence "for violation of a parking ordinance to which she had pleaded guilty."
Justice Jones, in administering the sentence, admonished the Princess "to watch your step." He added that he hoped that the princess would again visit Hempstead, "but not run afoul of traffic violations." She got a summons on January 24, after she had parked her car in "front of a driveway on Hempstead's principal business street."
At the time of the original summons, the Princess was about to sail for Hawaii, and she was able to have the hearing postponed until after her return. After she agreed to not "offend again," Justice Jones suspended Princess Xenia's sentence.
