elopement was revived when she and
Wilson returned TO this country on the
Same boat and Wilson dramatically cast
on the young woman at the pier;
When customs officials demanded $lVe
duty the girl showed that she had put
so cents to her name, Fellow pas
senRers finally advanced enough money
70 get Miss Scheuck ashore. She re-
pentedly appealed to Wilson for heip
on that occasion. but he ignored her.
The girl talked freely of her esca-
made with Wilson, asserting that nc
married her. Meanwhile Wilson's wife,
who was living in East Orange, n. j."
came on the scene. She began suit foi
divorce on the strength Of the Sehenek
affgir, and was given decree with alt
mony.
Two years later Wilson was arrested
in Madison Square Garden, where he
was showing the Vanderbilt horses, ana
made to put up $4,000 bail to guarante :
his payment Of alimony. Rather thar
20 to Ludlow st. Jail, whittier he was
bound when help came, he furnished
the money and was released.
Though Mrs. Wilson secured imam
cial recompense for her injuries, Miss
Schenck was unable to gain any sue
cess in court. On one occasion she sued
Wilson for 100000 for breach of prom
Use, but the conflict between the condi-
tions Of this suit and her previous
statements Of marriage crippled the
case.
Repeated attempts were made to ST.
lenee her. In 1908 Mrs. Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt, as the result of the Schenck
affair, it is said, brought suit for di-
vorce and secured il. This action is
supposed to have been FASTENED by
Miss Scheck's free discussion of the
tragic death in Paris of a Nine. Ruiz,
who is said to have killed herself after
Alfred G. Vanderbilt left that city.
Wilson was showing the Vanderbilt
horses at Brockton Fair in Massachu-
sets in the fall of 1910 when he met
Miss Jane Delehsnty, daughter of an
East Boston Immigration inspector.
They were married the following jan
uary and at once went abroad. Miss
Scheek meanwhile had gone abroad and
there was no outburst from her on the
occasion of the Wilson marriage.
But the life of the cafes had its effect
On Miss Schenck. Customs officials, to
whom her face had become familiar,
hardly recognized her when she re-
turned to this country last fall, Ill and
penniless. Friends provided her with n
room in a small uptown hotel, but + n
finances continued at low ebb.
Her final attack on Wilson was
launched in November, 1918, when she
brought another breach of promise
suit, this time for $4,000. Soon after
the fling of the suit her condition be-
came so critical that she was removed
from lodging house in when she bad
taken shelter to Miss Alston's sanato-
rum in West 6ist ST., where she under
went an operation. --..
She fingered until the morning of
January 6. A week before her father,
who had publicly cast her off at the
tins of her elopement with Wilson,
came to this city and took Miss SchencK
South with him. She died in her girl
hood home, from which she had been
barred several years before. The suit
against Wilson was dropped with her
death.
Walter Kelly, manager of Felix War
burg's stable. was a witness of the
shooting yesterday. lie says that
Schultz walked up to Wilson and
shouted:
"You ruined that girl, and you hired
me to kill her, but you didn't come
across. Now I'm going to kill YOU"
Schultz will have a hearing before
Justice Morschauser in the Supreme
Court to-day.
