THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JUNE: 30, 1929—PART T. HARDINGE BARES OFFER OF $100,000 Ann Livingston, Suing 62- Year-Old, Spurned Pre- Nuptial Contract. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 29—Seeking to show that Ann Livingston, Tulsa, Okla., divorcee, had little interest in love and motherhood, as she claimed, attorneys for Franklin S. Hardinge, wealthy 62- year-old manufacturer, today read to the jury a pre-nuptial contract offer- ing Ann $100,000, which she spurned. ‘The 29-year-old ex-secretary is suing Hardinge for $250,000 for breach of promise. Hardinge, on the stand, also testi- fled that Ann acted coolly toward his {\e-r-old grandson, despite the fact she ad written him often about her desire to_be a loving wife and mother. He denied much of the ardent love- making that Ann had attributed to him fle she was on the stand and re- counted one by one the various gifts and articles of clothing he bought for her. The defense tried to show that ‘Ann hinted broadly for everything he gave her. ‘The agreement, which Miss Livingston refused to sign, provided that she was to receive $100.000 and waive all other claims on Hardinge's estate at his death. ‘The amount was to increase or decrease according to the amount of his wealth at the time of his death. Ann told reporters she would deny in rebuttal testimony that she refused to sign the contract because of the amount of money involved. Her ob- jection to it, she sald, was that it gave Hardinge the power of attorney to sign away her rights. The contract, as read today, stated that Hardinge amassed his wealth with the help of his first wife, who died, and that his two children by that marriage were entitled to the benefits of her ef- Diplomats Hang Up D.

The action of the Police De- partment, at the behest of the Senate, making public a list of diplomats who had violated traffic laws has caused the dip- lomats to congratulate them- selves. “Thus,” declared one Ambas- sador yesterday, “we prove we are law abiding residents.” Thirty-five diplomats, said the police, have ted traffic reg- ulations in only 13 years. “And that,” said the Ambas- sador, “averages three violations by diplomats each year.
