She “Beat Him to It” by Filing Action Secretly While He Waited, He Says. George W. Quintard 34, son of. the late Ironmaster, told an Evening World reporter to-day the report of his engagement to a Chicago widow with two children is premature. “It is true,” he added. “I know a very nice Chicago lady, but I can't say anything about an engagement.” Mr. Quintard was found in his new home at Auburndale, between Flush- ing and Bayside, L. I, where he ts busily engoged in raising Pekingese spaniels. He gave for the first time details of the divorce obtained in aecret recently by Mrs. Quintard and | of her second grarriage shortly after- ward. Mr, Quintard said: “My forme \ii got a divorce from me very secretly. You see, I went to Sioux Falls and bought a place and made a residence there with an idea of getting a divorce, Mrs. Quintard took up her residence there, too, but after three months or #0, I learned she had secretly begun a suit for divorce in New City, Rockland County, N. Y. She had the goods On me, so she got her decree, “No, as to her marriage, that was secret, too. She got her final decree inet me at New City in August, 1914, and not long afterward she mar- ried Noel McVickar, who, I b’">ve, 4s an insurance man in New York, As to’any engagement of mine—not a word. It would be premature. I am attending strictly to my business of raising dogs.” ’ The first intimation that the Quin- tards had been divorced was given at the trial of a suit against the young millionaire for $1,446, brought by the Leonori Hotel, Sixty-third street and Madinon Avenue. At this hearing in the City Court a few weeks ago, Mis. Quintard was referred to by Edward Maxson, attorney for Quintard, as his “former wife.” It appeared Quintard, who had lived with Mrs, Quintard at the Leonori for five or six months, had, in May, 1913, negotiated for a lease of another apartment there, fol- lowing the estrangement. He did not make the lease, however, because, he testified, he was establishing a roesi- dence out west, with a view to getting @ divorce, Mrs, Quintard filed a suit for sep- aration against the millionaire in August, 1913, but on the same day it was Nled she withdrew it and sailed for Burope. The next suit was filed against him by Dreicer & Company, jewellers, at No. 560 Fifth Avenue, for jeweiry puréhased by various young women claiming authority to do so from Quintard. The purchases amounted to $54,596. Quintard, answering the suit, alleged he was drunk when the purchases were made and that Nils Florman, a well known Broadway figure, induced him to give the young women permission to buy the jewels, The suit is now pending in the Su- preme Court, “I'm on the water wagon now,” said QUintard to-day, The former Mrs. Quintard was Miss Maie Woods, heroine of the Brewster railroad wreck, They were married wn Mount Vernon in * i907, following ren f the Brewster wiaele by aiding } Millionaire Reported Engaged; Wife Who Got a Secret Divorce, POLICEMAN SAVES TWO, ONE DIES IN TRENCH FROM GAS Bluecoat Plunges Into Hole and Drags Victims Out as Crowd Gathers.
