NEWS LITE : FOR SALE: POW CAMP; BRIT HOME HELD GERMANS.Going for $160,000: one prisoner of war PRISONER OF WAR. One who has been captured while fighting under the banner of some state. He is a prisoner, although never confined in a prison. 2. In modern times, prisoners are treated with more humanity than formerly; the individual captor has now no camp. Single owner, original buildings (somewhat used). The 17-acre camp, which has 50 prison huts, a chapel and a theater, was built by Italian POWs in the early 1940s, then used to hold captured Germans. It forms part of the 470-acre Low Harperley Farm in County Durham, northeast England, which has been put up for sale for $1.7 million after the death of farmer Charlie Johnson. ``Buying this could get someone a slice of history,'' said Robin Peat of land agents George F. White, which is handling the sale. One of the huts still contains original paintings done by German prisoners, he said. The sprawling, riverside farm also has a large manor house and several cottages. The POW camp can be bought as part of the package, or is offered separately. Maples now the Donald's ex With a judge's signature, actress Marla Maples became the ex-wife of Donald Trump on Tuesday. The couple's divorce was granted on the grounds that the two had lived apart for more than a year, a valid reason under New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of law, said Maples' lawyer, William Beslow. Trump, 52, filed for divorce from Maples, 35, three months after they separated in mid-1997. Proceedings were stalled after Maples decided to fight a prenuptial agreement prenuptial agreement (antenuptial agreement) n. a written contract between two people who are about to marry, setting out the terms of possession of assets, treatment of future earnings, control of the property of each, and potential division if the marriage is later that gave her about $2 million in the event of a divorce. She threw in the towel last week, leading a judge to sign the divorce decree Tuesday. ``After giving Donald two years to honor the verbal commitments he made to me during our 12-year relationship, I decided to walk away completely under the terms of the prenuptial agreement that had been placed before me just five days before our 1993 wedding,'' Maples said in a statement. Maples' $2 million settlement was a far cry from the more than $25 million that Trump's first wife, Ivana, got in her divorce settlement after nearly 15 years of marriage. Maples, who had a daughter by Trump two months before they married in December 1993, said she signed the premarital agreement A contract made in anticipation of marriage that specifies the rights and obligations of the parties. Such an agreement typically includes terms for property distribution in the event the marriage terminates. without reading it. Trump gave her ``verbal commitments'' to pay ``substantially in excess of'' the prenuptial agreement, Beslow said. Because Maples endured a scandal as ``the other woman'' for dating Trump while he was still married, and because she stood by him when he was nearly bankrupt, the prenuptial agreement is ``unfair,'' Beslow said.
