During her legal battles, she lived in poverty in the Black Forest. She moved to the United States in 1968 and married John E. Manahan, a former history professor. In 1977, German forensic experts said Anastasia and Mrs. Manahan were the same person.

"Forensic studies showed that her ear was identical with the ear of Anastasia. Seventeen anatomical points were identical," Kurth said. Mrs. Manahan's lawyer wanted to take the case back to court. She refused.

"It became a point of honor, really," Kurth said. "She knew perfectly well who she was and it didn't matter what a court of law said."

Rosemary It. Trails, Probate Judge NEW YORK (AP) On July 17, 1918, Czar Nicholas II, his wife Czarina Alexandra and their five children filed down the stairs to the basement of a house in the Ural mining town of Ekaterinburg, now Sverdlovsk. The four daughters sobbed as Bolshevik riflemen herded the dethroned imperial family to doom. Shots rang out. Bayonets sliced through the air and ripped into flesh.

Nicholas, Alexandra and the children Alexis, Tatiana, Olga, Marie and Anastasia all perished, historical accounts say. Or did they? Nineteen months after the executions, a young woman, her body wasted by tuberculosis, was pulled from the icy water of the Landwehr Canal in Berlin after trying to kill herself. Two years later, she told the world she was the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nicolaevna Romanov. Anna Anderson Manahan died Sunday in Charlottesville, at the age of 82. She had spent almost 60 years fighting for recognition as the youngest Romanov daughter.

Her odyssey sparked one of the most enduring and romantic royal controversies. Viveca Lindfors starred in the 1954 Broadway play, "Anastasia." Ingrid Bergman won an Academy Award for her performance in the screen version. There's been a ballet about the grand duchess and a TV drama. A musical is planned for Broadway. "I believed her," author Peter Kurth said in a recent interview.

"Nobody who lived with her and got to know her didn't believe her." Kurth's "Anastasia: The Riddle of Anna Anderson" was published last year. Now 30, he began his research after seeing the Bergman movie when he was 13. "I was very surprised to know it was based on a true story," he said. Mrs. Manahan was not the only pretender to the throne.

Others surfaced over the years, claiming to be the mischievous child who was nicknamed "Schwibsik" (Imp) by her family. And rumors swarmed: that the Romanovs were never really killed but fled to the West and hid their true identities; that the czar had $20 million in gold rubles in British banks; that the woman claiming to be his youngest daughter was really the out-of-wedlock child of his mistress. Eugenia Smith of Newport, R.I., published "Anastasia, the Autobiography of the Grand Duchess of Russia," in 1963. An Oct. 16, 1963, article in Life magazine said polygraph examiner Cleve Backster had reported that results of a lie detector test indicated Mrs.

Smith could be Anastasia. Other evidence could not be substantiated. Mrs. Smith refused to discuss her claim with the Associated Press. Her publisher, Robert Speller, said he was "99 percent convinced that she's for real.

I'm 99 percent convinced that Mrs. Manahan was not. "We looked at films by the hundreds and if you examine Mrs. Smith's body very carefully, she has foreshortened arms she was on the dumpy side, which the genuine Anastasia was," he said. "Mrs.

Manahan had a dancer's figure."

Phony marking aimed at scaring off thieves less at the time, had scars on her forehead and behind her right ear when she entered a Berlin hospital after jumping into the Landwehr Canal. She was melanchonic and would not discuss her past. Another patient, who had heard rumors that a member of the imperial family had escaped execution, saw a resemblance between the young woman and an oia magazine photo of Tatiana. The patient announced she had found Tatiana, then corrected herself the woman was really Anastasia. Mrs.

Manahan told "Anastasia's" story to Berlin police. She said a guard, loyal to the czar, found her still alive when he came to remove the royal corpses, and took her to safety in Romania, where she bore his child. The guard was later killed and the child placed in an orphanage. "Anastasia" went to Berlin to her aunt, Princess Irene of Prussia. But out of shame, she instead plunged into the canal.

European royalty remained divided about "Anastasia" while authorities sought evidence. A Swiss criminologist compared skull measurements and said Mrs. Manahan was not the grand duchess. A German police laboratory made a study of the ears and concluded the same. A private detective asserted in 1927 that she was really a Polish peasant who had been injured in a defense plant explosion.

In 1928, Mrs. Manahan came to the United States. In 1930, she was admitted to a mental institution under the name Anna Anderson. Then she returned to Germany. In 1933, she took her case to the courts.

In 1967, after more than 30 years of claims and counterclaims, a German court ruled that Anna Anderson could not prove she was Iranian shoots wife, daughters; kills himself MADEIRA, Ohio (AP) An Iranian who was director of international commerce for Iran under the late shah apparently killed himself after fatally shooting his wife and three young daughters, police say. Mostafa Ansari, 38, was found dead Monday morning in a bathroom of the family's home. The bodies of his wife, Karin, 40; and daughters, Jasmine, 10, and 7-year-old twins, Nadia and Tania, were discovered in their bedrooms. Each had been shot in the head with a handgun, said Police Chief Phillip Hudson, declining to say if officers had found a suicide note. Douglas Weigle, a lawyer who helped with the family's 1979 immigration to the United States after the shah fell, said the family had "a lot of money" but Ansari had been worried about his contracting business.

(AP) Authorities tracked down a floating barrel labeled as radioactive waste, only to find that it contained river monitoring equipment with a phony marking aimed at scaring off thieves and vandals. After a search by 10 state workers, two Richmond County employees and a team from the U.S. Department of Energy finally confirmed a teen-ager's report that he had seen the barrel in the Savannah River, its source was traced to the Augusta Engineering Department. The intimidating label was used to protect three barrels containing expensive devices which record the river's rise and fall, said city design engineer Jorge E. Jiminez.

Patent Office grants claims SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Apparently resolving the question of whether a process that occurs in nature can be patented, the U.S. Patent Office has granted Stanford University most of its claims involving gene splicing and gene cloning techniques. The decision reversing an earlier Patent Office ruling was reported in a confidential letter to biotechnology and drug companies obtained by The Associated Press and confirmed Monday by a Stanford official.

Jiminez conceded, "We failed to consider the possibility of panic," but he said the state officials should have known the barrels were safe because they knew of the river monitoring operation. A teen-ager fishing with his father Sunday spotted the label on one of the barrels and notified authorities, said George McElveen, head of emergency management for Richmond County. Searchers worked until darkness stopped them Sunday night. After resuming the search at daybreak Monday, they found the barrel and its harmless contents.

Jiminez said the barrels were 10 feet off the shore of city property and had been given the false labels so city workers would not have to retrieve the meters between measurements in December and others scheduled this year. The engineer said he "had no idea" that authorities "would go to such extremes." He said he would not use the labels when the monitoring resumes, but he said he would close off access to that portion of the river to protect the equipment. CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GREENWOOD, S.

"Although blacks have made much progress in this country, there is still room for improvement," Mrs. Pylcs told the group.
