The suicide of Edward Martin Lang
worthy, following on the death OF an
unfortunate lady who claimed to be
his wife. recalls to mind enc of the
most curious cases in the history OF
the English courts. MIR Langworthy
hal inherited something Ike f150.-
600 from his father and uncle, and aft
er a career at Eton and oxford was
called to the bar. He met Mildred Sa-
bine Palliser Long on the continent,
and went through 4 form OF marriage
with her at Roman Catholic church
in Normandy. and to confirm the SEM
blance OF legality performed similar
ceremony in a Presbyterian church at
Antwerp. He then took the lady on
his palatial yacht Meteor to South
America. and at Buenos Ayres INFORM
ed her that their marriage was not
valid. Mrs. Langworthy became a
mother and for the child's sake took
proceedings against her deceiver For
four years the wealth of Mr.. Lang
worthy bought the qulbbling OF un-
scrupulous lawyers to uphold his case,
and the divorce court eventually de-
creed the marriage invalid, but grant
ed the lady alimony at the rate oi
Il 200 a year. The ungentlemanly Mr..
Langworthy. however. evaded payment
by fleeing the country: Mrs Lang
worthy might have been driven
through despair to suicide had not the
Pail Mall Gazette. edited at that time
by Mr.. Stead. taken up her case. She
brought a new case against Mr. Lang
worthy for f25.000 damages for breach
of promise. and everyone rejoiced
when she won it. The general belief
was that Mr.. Langworthy had been
egged on to such conduct by relatives,
who thought the marriage a mesallI-
ance: anyhow, the quarrel seems to
have been made UP TO some extent be-
fore the end. and Mr.. Langworthy's
