tonight, supported by attorneys, and
will be required to furnish either

to Hugo Leal, a Brazilian, but the
next year she eloped with her child
hood sweetheart, Harry G. Williams

waiting at the church.
The marriage ended in a divorce a
few months later. She then
met Spreckles, son of the mil
lionaire sugar manufacturer, while
serving as a cabaret singer here,
and they were married in 1915. Di-
vorce proceedings threatened To
break up this union also, but
Spreckles was killed in an sutomo-
bile accident in 1920 before the case
was heard.
Mrs. Spreckles then went to Paris,
where she met the prince. They wer.
married in July, 1923. She was
named in the divorce suit Of Prin-
cess Chivekear, former wife Of King
Fuad of Egypt and later the consos;
Of Selim Bey of Egypt.
In 1927 Prince Chakir and his wife
separated and she returned to Amer
lea. She was divorced by the Turk
ism nobleman after declaring sht
would rot return to him.

Tiffany and company sued Spreckles
but the case was thrown out of court
after his death.
