MAY LOSE ALIMONY.
Former Husband Balks at Supporting
Another Mans Wife.

Trouble is once more hunting after
Mrs. F. Augustus Heinze, formerly
Bernice Golden Henderson, the IT.
tian-haired actress who welded the
copper man last September, despite
the threats of Mrs. Lillian Hobart
French, who claimed to have a con-
tract to marry him herself.
This time it is Charles A. Hender-
son, the divorced husband of Heinze's
bride, who has served notice that
will jar the wedding bliss of the Mon
tana magnate's household. The dis
cordant note comes in the form of a
warning that Henderson does not care
to pay Mrs. Henderson-Heinze the
s400 a month alimony allowance she
has been receiving from him regular
ly since her divorce in 1906, and will
ask the supreme court to amend the
divorce decree.
In addition to this announcement
that their client does not intend to
support another mans wife, Hender-
sons attorneys have SERVED notice
that they will ask the court to change
the decree so that little Katherine
Henderson, the five-year-old daughter
of Mrs. Henderson-Heinze, may spend
part of the time in the home of her
father. Since her mothers divorce
she has been with her continuously.
Mr.. Henderson, formerly vice presi-
dent of the international Mercantile
Agency, is an officer of the Credit
Clearing House, and has figured
prominently in Wall Street affairs.
He lives at the Plaza hotel, and is said
to be interested at present in an En-
glish corporation. He is the son OF
wealthy Canadian manufacturer, and
married Bernice Golden, the actress,
when she was playing minor role
in Henrietta Crosman's company.
Mrs. Henderson was the plaintiff
in the divorce action which separated
her from her broker husband. She
was awarded the possession of kathe-
rine, their little daughter, and S40O
month alimony. Mr.. Henderson has
paid the alimony regularly, but now
objects to continuing the allowance
on account of the Heinze-Henderson
nuptials. So fa~ as his custody OF
the child is concerned, he is willing
to have a referee decide if he is en-
titled to share the little girls COM
pany part of the time.
F. Augustus Heinze has been in the
limelight ever since he came to New
York after creating a furore in the
Montana copper district, and stirred
Wall Street with his $S,000,0OO
United States Copper company. La
ter he was charged with overcertify-
ing checks of Otto Heinze & Co. while
he was president of the Mercantile
! National bank. For this alleged vlo-
lation of the national banking laws
he was indicted by the federal au-
thorities, but afterward acquitted.
Immediately after this acquittal on
May 12 last he announced that he
would go back to his Montana mines
| and recoup the fortune he had spent
in defending his interests. Prior to
his departure he announced his en-
gagement to Mrs. Bernice Golden
Henderson. She was then starring
as Katherine Kaelred, the vampire,
in "a Fool There Was
This announcemnt caused Mrs. Lii
liam Hobart French, former associate
of Dis De Bar, to make known that
she regarded herself as engaged to
the copper magnate. She, in turn, an
nounced that if he married Mrs. Hen
derson instead of herself she would
publish his love letters to her. True
to her promise she gave out several
affectionate notes that Heinze had
! written her.
This plan did not retard the
Heinze-Hen 5erson wedding. On the
day that tFe ceremony was performed
Mrs. French caused to be served on
the bridegroom her complaint in a
suit against him for $4,000. She
will seek to recover this amount for
bonds alleged to have been lent
Heinze when he was in financial
straits.
Heinze and his bride went to Butte,
Mont, Immediately after the we'd
ding. Katherine Henderson, the
little daughter, whose custody the
father now seeks, is understood to
have been left with Mrs. Golden, Mrs.
Henderson-Heinze's mother in Toledo.
