AUNTS HERS PAY WOW $250000, “TD END HER SUT She Drops Action to Set Aside! Divorce Decree, Begun Two | Years After His Death, | ‘TURPENTINE KING’ SUED | She Was Alleged to Have Fled With Count She- Had |» Known an Hour. ‘Mra, Bessie Babcock Hunt, former Wife of John Wright Hunt, who sought | to have the divorce decree granted to| Nim set aside two yeare after his death, thas accepted a settlement of $260,000 and | ended her action. The setilement probably means that | the public never will know the truth of a story that has filled newspaper columne for more than ten years, in which tine Hunt alternately ‘appeared as an aged, wealthy ogre and a warm-hearted, for- @iving, fatherly husband. Mrs, Hunt role varied from that of Impetwous, faithless young wife to that of Innocent- hearted and much-wronged young wo- ) helpless in the hands of @ 4 figning villain. B Babcock was a Detrott beauty, Just out of a convent and wooed by a) dozen suitors, when Hunt, then in the/ shadow of sixty, vanquished the youn | men and married her in 1901. Then began a honeymoon of tuxury fan@ splendor that lasted eight years ané took in every country in Europe. ALLEGED TO HAVE ELOPED WITH “WICKED PRINCE.” It was in the eummer of 1909 that these who had followed the wife's happy story, as told occasionally in cabled news, were shocked to real one day of the elopement of Mrs. Hunt from the Hotel Crilion in Paris with the Count Alexander de Tcherniadieff, said to be ® cusin of the Czar and known to Con timental society as ‘the wicked Prince.” It was only an hour after she first met the Count, it was said, that she threw Jewels valued at $100,000 into @ satch and eloped with him. Boon afterward Mrs, Hunt came to| America, The story was undenied, Ru- mere had the outraged husband about » other ru- a. ner fatner, had Babcock, Moved meantime to Brookfield, N. Y., an@ there he took tne woman whose Adelver: aroused such intense interest. He let her talk to reporters Just long enough to enter a general denial, Stories of a reconciliation were un- true. The “turpentine king,” then nearly seventy, got his divorce in Kings County early in 1910, Secrecy was maintuined. In December of that year Mr, Hunt died in Dallas, ‘Tex, Stilt Mrs. Hunt refused to deny in any detali (he many ugly stories in which gossip made her} principal, following the publication of the elopement. SOUGHT TO VOID DIVORCE OF DEAD HUSBAND. But in the following year Mrs. Hunt | seat for the reporters and told how regretted her silence, through which | \ahe had permitted her name to be sul- led. In detail Mrs. Hunt told of her ac- Nequaintance with tie Prince and as- rted there never had been a shadow impropriety in her relations with him. A few months afterward Mrs. Hunt! filed with Supreme Court Justice Staple- ton @ petition that the divorce granted ‘her dead husband be reopened and that e have another opportunity to pre- mt her side. It was thus the public firet learned of the decree. The Justice dented her motions, but last month the Appellate Division overruled him and yesterday's settlement followed. pi ASTORIA WOMAN FOUND DROWNED IN CISTERN.
