His action left dark-eyed Maria, Isabella Patino and 20-year-old James Goldsmith free to marry immediately.
Papa Patine's attorneys appeared at the Edinburgh Court of Sessions to announce that he had abandoned plans to prevent the wedding.
The court had met to consider the young couple's appeal against a ban obtained by Patino.
"There has been a change in developments which your lordships will hear about," R. P. Morison, one of Scotland's most brilliant advocates, announced on behalf of Jimmy and Isabel.
W. H. Guest, attorney for Isabel's
parents; then rose to tell the judges:
"The petitioners (Patino and his Bourbon princess wife) have instructed me to say that they have decided to abandon the petition."
With that Lord Cooper, lord president of the Court of Session, withdrew the interim interdict which forbade Scottish authorities to issue a marriage certificate to the couple.
marriage certificate to the couple Isabel and Jimmy now may marry as soon as they pick up papers for which they filed on Dec. 29.
The ceremony may be performed by any one of Scotland's 320 registrars if they decide not to wait for a church wedding.
The young pair has successfully remained in hiding since filing intentions to wed.
The latest report was that they staved last night at Loch Awe in Argyleshire, about 100 miles from Glasgow. Papa Patino supposedly sought them there to talk things over.
James McCusney, one of the couple's attorneys, said late last night that "Senior Fitting appears to be growing more conciliatory."
When the Patinos obtained their interdict two days ago they set up an unprecedented case under Scottish law, which permits persons over 16 to marry without parental consent.
The Fatinos objected that Isabel was domiciled in France where she could not marry without their consent until the age of 21. They said they had not approved her proposed marriage to "James Michael Goldsmith or Goldschmidt."
Innocent Prisoner Enters Protests
Sacramento, Calif. —(U.P.) A man sent to prison for a gem robbery he did not commit today turned bitterly on the persons who put him behind bars and said "somebody should pay for this."
The man who actually committed the crime said he was "awfully happy" the innocent prisoner would be set free.
Hamlin was given a five-year to life term at San Quentin prison Oct. 30 for the theft of $2,800 worth of diamond rings from a San Francisco jewelry store a year ago.
But a few days ago, Harry Kistler, 38, one of three men arrested in connection with a series of northern California holdups, confessed that it was he who robbed the jeweler.
Gov. Goodwin J. Knight and San Francisco authorities met today to discuss a pardon for the wronged prisoner, 41-year-old Franklin Hamlin, who has served time for other crimes in the 1930's.
Police said the men were "dead ringers" for each other.

Fireworks Seen As Hawaii Hearings Open
Washington —(U.P.)— For the 11th time since 1935, Congressional hearings opened today on statehood for Hawaii with prospects of parliamentary and other fireworks.
Ex-Gov. Ingram Stainback of Hawaii, now an associate justice of the islands' Supreme court, was the only scheduled witness as the Senate Interior committee reopened the question of whether to make the territory the 49th state.
SAVE Dollars!
Justice Stainback, a onetime ardent advocate of statehood for the islands, is reported now to oppose it—at least for the time being.
Sen. Smathers was irked by the timing of today's hearing.
Sen. George A. Smathers (Fla.), leader of a Southern Democratic bloc opposing statehood, said Justice Stainback's testimony "if of the greatest importance" and declared he will resort to parliamentary tactics, if need be, to force a quorum—eight of the 15 members—into the committee hearing room.

BRIDGE STANDARD 601 Mass.
In a prepared statement, the senator said "it is unfortunate that these hearings have been scheduled for the day when the President will be delivering his annual State of the Union message. This in effect relegates consideration of the future boundaries of the United States to the shadows."
Justice Stainback declined, in advance to give a line on his testimony, but it was at Sen. Smather's insistence that he was summoned here to testify. Justice Stainback served as Hawaiian governor by Democratic appointment and was given his present job on the Hawaiian Supreme court by former President Truman. The territory is predominantly Republican.
