The Aged Second Husband of the WO-
man in the Case Suing for Divorce.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 13.-Society circles
here are agitated over a domestic scandal
involving families of wealth and prOmI-
nence in this city, Washington and New
Orleans. The lady Involved is Mrs. Mary
Alice Belt, nee Godfrey, whose relations
with the gay and handsome Congressman
Acklen, OF Louisiana, created something
of breeze at the national capital a few
years ago. Mrs. Belt is strikingly
handsome blonde, about 80 years of age.
She is the widow of Mr.. Godfrey, who was
United States Consul General at Mexico
during Pierce's administration. After
the Acklen episode Mrs. Godfrey figured
very little in society in Washington. Her
marriage in October last revived her
memory in the minds of many who had
almost forgotten her.
Her second husband, from whom she is
now separated, is Eugene n. Belt, a
wealthy liquor dealer of Baltimore, and
aWell-knOWn man about town. The pair
were married in MorristOwn, n. j., and
on their arrival in this city gave a grand
reception, to which 1900 invitations were
issued. Mr.. Belt is 80 years of age, and
had never married. He was very happy
III lu6 new I6ldJlOn anu exceedingly Oe-
voted to his wife. They lived very happi-
ly in their home for several weeks. Then
a ripple was created ID club circles about
the attentions of TWO prominent
society young men to Mrs.
Belt. Mr.. Belt appeared to be in ignor-
ance of these stories, bnt finally there
was some trouble between her and two of
her husbands sisters, and at length some
body sent Mr.. Belt newspaper contain
ing the story of the Acklen scandal, which
he had never heard of up to that time.
Mr.. Belt refused to believe that his wife
had been guilty of indiscretiOns, and the
matter was dropped.
A few weeks ago Mr.. and Mrs. Belt
went to New Orleans, where they had
many friends, who entertained them
handsomely. Among other acquaint-
ances it is said that Mrs. Belt met ex-
Congressman Acklen. Mr.. Belt was an
nOyed at this circumstance, and the Sc
quel was that Mr.. Belt suddenly started
for Baltimore, leaving Mrs. Belt behind
him. He consulted a lawyer, Col.
Charles Marshal, of this city, and in
structed him to begin divorce proceedings
at once. Mrs. Belt returned North and
went to the home of her sister, Mrs. Ben
jamin Willis, of New York. Family
friends have been endeavoring to bring
about compromise, but as yet Mr.. Belt
is unrelenting.

They Swindle a Number of Leading
Citizens and Pocket $4,000.
BOsTON, Feb. 15.-The Herald to-day
devotes four columns to a history of the
operations of a Mrs. DR.. +. S. Hudson, a
widow, who has succeeded in swindling
hundreds of victims in this city and vicin-
ity, including many leading business
firms. She never worked under an alias,
and was assisted in her operations by her
daughter Amy. Their prepossessing
demeanOrs and winning ways completely
captivated their victims. Mrs. Hudson is
the widow of DR.. Z. 5. Hudson, formerly
Il practicing physician of Midway, where
he died. The Herald says his death is
believed to have been caused by the dis
grace brought upon him by his wife's
conduct. Among Mrs. HudsOn's victims
is Insurance Commissioner TarbOX, from
whom she rented suite of rooms. She
has swindled hotel keepers, furniture
dealers, jewelers., dressmakers, and even
a cook and laundress out of various
amounts. 1t is estimated that the
swindlings of Mrs. Hudson and daughter
in this city will reach $4,000.
