Husband Lives in Europe.

Mrs. Lillian Van buren, Wilson discoi,-
tinued yesterday suit she brought seven
years ago for separation from John G.
Wilson. Jr,, brother OF Vice President
George T. Wilson of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society. Mrs. Wilson's attor-
ney said that she decided to drop the
action because her husband IL I'm Europe
and doesn't expect to return here
Mrs. Wilson's first husband was Myer
Nussbaum, lawyer and former State Sem
ator. who divorced her and named Sam
uel q. Watts. a wealthy yachtsman, after
his wife had told him she wanted to be
free to marry Watts, Nussbaum later
sued Watts for 100000 for alternating his
wife's affections and jury gave him
$40. 900. Watts failed to marry Mrs.
Nussbaum. but settled $500 month on
her and she married Wilson.
Wilson's defence to his wife's suit was
that she defrauded him by telling him
that tho $500 month she got came
from her former husband and not from
Watts. Wilson sued his wife for annul-
mcnt and she retaliatcd with the separa-
ton suit.
