MARRIED FOR LOVE.
Mrs. Wilson Don't Believe Rumors
About Hidden Money.

New York. Dec. 17.-Love was the
only consideration that made her mar
~ the sixty-seven- year-old Christie
pher Columbus Wilson, and she was
practically ignorant of his financial
affairs, was the testimony given, Sat
urday, by eighteen year-ol Stella
Lewis Wilson, wife of the former
president of the United Wireless Tele-
graph Co. who is serving prison
term at Atlanta, Ga. She was exam
ined at u hearing in bankruptcy be-
fore Peter Alexander. United States
commissioner. in an effort of the cred
itors Of the United Wireless to find out
whether Wilson has concealed any of
$1,750,0O0 which he was supposed to
have obtained from sales of the COM
pany's stock.
Mrs. Wilson said she had heard ru-
mors that Wilson, before their mar
riage and at the time when the gov
eminent had begun an investigation of
the company. had put away about
$4,000 in the banks of London. dur
ing his visit to Europe at that time.
but she added she never considered
those rumors true. AS to her present.
atfluence Mrs. Wilson said since her
husband had been taken to Atlanta
she had received from him only $3.50,
and having spent the money, she was
now living in The Bronx OH the boun-
ty of her parents.
She declared her ignorance of her
husbands affairs was due to the fact
that she was impractical, and since
their marriage they had passed
through so much trouble she never had
any opportunity to talk to her husband
about his business affairs. The only
property he had to her knowledge at
the time of their marriage, she said,
was a house at Long Beach, for which
an offer of $4,000 had been made, This
house was assigned to the attorneys
who defended Wilson at the trial, she
added
In answer to the question whether
John b. Stanchfeld chief counsel for
her husbands defence, had received a
fee of $4,000, while all the attorneys
in the case were paid in the aggre-
gate $250,000. Mrs. Wilson said all she
knew was that the fees had been high
and she believed Mr. Stanchfield got
100000
