And in these words Mrs. Wayne
saw a 100000 fortune vanish. for
by the will of her former husband
Mrs. Derby stood to lose all her
rights as an heir on remarriage.
This admission of Mrs. Wayne
comes in the face of repeated denials.
Mrs Wayne even denied to her own
daughter. Marie Derby, that she had
been married. Then when publicity
was given the ceremony she suffered
a severe attack of nervous prostra-
