New York, April 17..—Virginius St. Jullan Mayo, a wealthy manufacturer, formerly of New Haven, Conn., was arrested here today in default of payment of a $100,000 court fudg- ment recently obtained against him for breach of promise by Wilhelmina Meyer. For many years she resided with Mavo as his wite, at New Haven. In March, 1915, Miss Lilllan Cook, his stenographer committed suicide at that city. Publication of pictures of Mayo and Miss Cook led to disclosures that Mavo maintained a family in Brooklyn—TILois Waterbury and their children—and that in 1910 DMayo married Florence Weeks, who lived at Scranton, Pa., with their children. Miss Meyer with whom he had gone through ceremonial marriage won the breach of promise suit aft the suicide of Miss Cook. JMayo was ex- onerated by a coroner’'s jury in New Haven of any connection with Miss Cook’s death. Mayo today was r leased under $200,000 bail and is pro- hibited from leaving Kings county. a “TAP DAY ON MAY 16.
