O’Neill of Boston, remained immured in her apartment at the Waldorf all of last week until she left the city on Saturday, because she and | her attorney felt certain that her young husband, John H. Tilton, would attempt to effect a reconciliation. Mrs. Tilton came to this city with her attorney to obtain an injunction which would prevent her Thusband from collecting money which she said belonged to her. Mrs. Tilton was married to John H. Tilton in Baltimore in April when he was in her employ, and it was a serted in the application for the in- junction made to Supreme Court Jus tice Thomas F. Donnelly that her hus- band had made a bet that he could meet Mrs. Tilton and marry her as well as obtain her money, or a good part of it in ninety days. Mrs. Tilton's local counsel is the law firm of | O'Brien, Malevinsky & Driscoll, and the case comes up for a hearing nn | Tuesday. Mrs. Tilton, who is 41, while her husband is 23. has two daughters, one a graduate of Radcliffe College and the other in attendance at that insti- tution, and she was a wealthy widow | as M ances Duer Key. In April she had arranged to meet Mr. O'Neill in this city, in connection with a suit | for $100,000 damages which she was | bringing against her mother, Mrs. Mary E. Jones; her sister, Mrs. Mabel | Barnes: the latter's husband, and J. | K. Post, for having her confined in an insane asylum in Boston in 1912. Tilton, who is said to have been her chauffeur, was engaged to drive her motor a few before she started to New York. They were married on ‘the trip on April 17. Within three weeks, says Mrs. Til- ton’s affidavit, Tilton had made good his bet to the extent of obtaining | $58,500 from her in assignments of securities. All of the cash, however, | has not been paid over to him. The affidavit continues, ing that on Ma 20 her husband began to abuse Mr: Tilton. She says he got the assign- ments in the first instance by promis- ing to buy a seat in the New York Stock Exchange to hold it for her. On June 1, through her attorney, she started proceedings which tied up §51,000 in securities. She then came | to this city, met her husband and a | reconciliation took place. The' couple | went back to Washington together. | Within two days, she says, her hus- band had broken into the house and she had to call in the police to have him arrested. Securities worth $25,000, | which had been released after the reconciliation, were tied up through | Mr. O'Neill. | When she came to New York this | time Mrs. Tilton asked the manage- ment of the Waldorf to guard her lest a peace dove fly into the hotel apart- ment, and because, as Mr. O'Neill said, she feared to trust her hear JULY 4, COMMITTEE NAMED- President T 'S h Selects ake Arrangements-. nde: Five to President George M. the Chamber of Commer pointed make of ap- to Landers e has the following committee arrangements for the annual Fourth of July celebration at Walnut Hill park: Eugene J.
