TRYING TO PROVE
SHE IS WIDOW Of
TURPENT|NE KING
Mrs. Bessie H. Hunt Gets
Chance to Argue Against Di-
vorce Granted Her Husband.

Bessie II. Hunt. who was the wife Of
the late John w. Hunt, is trying with
the aid OF her lawyer. Philip Carpen-
ter. to prove in the Brooklyn courts
that she Is his widow. Mr.. Hunt was
known as the 'Turpentine King and
left a million dollar estate. Hence the
contention that she is his widow is
somewhat vital to Mrs. Hunt.
Mr.. Hunt died last December, after
an interlocutory decree OF divorce had
been granted to him by Justice STAPLE
ton on the recommendation of former
Justice Dickey as Referee. The CORE
spondent named In the proceedings was
Alexander Tscheinladless. said to be the
adopted son of the Baroness Franken-
stein. Mrs. Hunt vas alleged to have
met him In Paris.
Died Before Argument.
In November. Mrs. Hunt asked that
the decree be reopened on the ground
b a her husband had beer naughty
too. while she was In Paris. His coun-
sci secured a stay asking for an argu-
ment which was set for Dec. 10. Mr..
'iuht uicu peloTe mat anu tne arBu-
ment was not had.
Justice Kappe to-day set aside the
stay. thus permitting Mrs. Hunt to 60
ahead with her effort to have the In
~terlocutory decree set aside. Mr.. Car
penter said that later he would meet
the question as to whether the whole
divorce proceeding did not all with the
death OF the plaintiff before the final
decree was granted.
In to-day's proceedings a letter which
had been put in evidence before Ref
cree Dtckey was read. It was from
Mrs. Hunt to her father. explaining her
differences with Mr.. Hunt.
Found Man to Save Her.
81 stood life with him. she wrote,
lust as long as 1 could. would have
gone on and on II I had not met a man
so sweet. so tender and good and true
who made arrangements to save me.
Why should l sacrifice my life for an
old man for whom l had no love Just
for the sake Of a few clothes and some
jewelry?"
Mrs. Hunt referred in the letter Ia
Mr.. Hunt as buggy" She was twenty
years old when they were married and
Mr.. Hunt was sixty-two.
