DESERTED DUCHESS
WINS DIVORCE SUIT
Duke Of Westn,inster Fails to
Contest Charges.

LONDON, June IA divorce was
granted to-day to the Duohass of West
minister from Hugh Richard Arthur
Grosvenor, second Duke of Westminster,
on the grounds of desertion and miscon-
duct.
Counsel for the Duke said n simple
denial to the charges had been entered
originally, but that upon trial the case
had not been contested.
There were no sensational develop
ments at tho trial. although a large
crowd was present, anticipating startling
testimony
The Duchess and her attorney con-
fined themselves to outlining the mar
|ried life of the couple. which. while not
altogether happy up to 1909, had not
been marred by any serious quarrel AT
that time, however. there was a breach
in their marital relations, and IN 1913,
1t was testified, the Duke left his wife.
He wrote her signing the letter bend
Or" the name of famous racehorse.
In this letter he stated that their mode
OF living at that time was impossible
and he offered to give her an allowance
Of $4,000 Vs6,ooo) a year. This offer
the Duchess refused. She said she would
DO nothing that might reflect upon her
position as the Dukes wife and the
mother of his children. The Duke, how
ever. expressed a determination that the
Duchess should not live either at Elton
Hall or at Grosvenor House, their resi-
dences
Eventually the Dukes actions were
watched. according to the testimony,
and 1t was alleged evidence had been
obtained concerning a meeting with a
woman whose name was not given In
court.
The Duchess of Westminster formerly
was Constance Edwina, daughter of Col.
William Corvallis West. She and her
husband signed a separation agreement
1914. They were married In 1901
and have two children.
