MRS. MAYO WINS SUIT
Suit Reveals the Tangled Threads OF
Many R0mances.

Su;t Reveals the Tangled Threads Oh
Many Romances.
Now York, Oct. 4.-Virglnlus St
Julian Mayo, millionaire manuiac-
turcr of New Haven, must pay $780,
600 heart balm to Mrs. Wilhelminla
Never Mayo, who for twelve years
enormously believed herself to be: his
legal wife.
A Jury in the Supreme Court yes
terday reached this verdict after on
" half an hours deliberation. lnstru"-
tions by Justice Golf regarding the
basis of the Indemnity" was d'sre-
garded by the jury.
Thus ends one phase at least oil
the most sensational trial OF its KIND
aired in 4 New York court for years.
It revolvcs not around the usual loves
triangle but seNtangle. the three
other principals being:
Mrs. Florence Weeks Mayo, of
Scranton. Pa, Mayo's legal wife, to
whom Mayo was married quarter
of century ago. She obtained a dl-
vorce year ago.
Lillian May Cook, pretty l6-year
old stenographer in Mayo's employ,
who killed herself two years ago.
Lois Dudley, a beautiful young wo-
man residing in a luxurious estab-
lishment in Brooklyn, admittedly Oh
tanned by Mayo. She was regarded
by all neighbors and friends as
Mayo's wife and her three children
as Mayo's.
In the battle of wits in which q
half score of New York's most bril-
liant lawyers were engaged, amaz-
ing new disclosures involving several
other beautiful stenographers en-
ployed in Mayo's New Haven Offices
were limited at. Former District At
tornev James W. Osborne, Mayo's
chief counsel, finally blocked intro
duction of this alleged evidence.
