Arnim, HARRY, GRAF VON

Arnim, HARRY, GRAF VON, born in Pomerania in 1824, from 1864 to 1870 was Prussian ambassador at Rome, where he backed up the anti-infallibilists during the Vatican Council. He was rewarded with the title of Graf, but, as German ambassador to France (1872–74), he fell into Prince Bismarck's disfavour, and, on a charge of purloining state documents, was sentenced to three months', to six months', to five years' imprisonment. He had, however, retired into exile, and died at Nice, 19th May 1881.
