Day and Nijfht Calls Promptly Attended DUKKH FIK8T WIFE DKAD Hud Karned living in New York By Giving Music lesson* New York, Oct. 24.? Mr#. Lillian N. Duke, who wuh divorced twenty years ago by the late tobacco mag nate, James B. Duke, died tonight in her muiilc studio on West Kighty Kighth street. She had been unpen iCloui rtint i- October 22 When she suf fered two cerebral hemorrhages. Since the death of her former hun band on October 10, Mrs. Duke had been greatly depressed, according to her attorney, Miss Lillian Pugh, who said Mrs. Duke's condition was un doubtedly complicated by lack of food. She had refused to accept loans from friends, her attorney Raid. The tobacco manufacturer's first | wife died in penury, although for thirty yeurs she was mistress of a fortune then estimated at $100,000, 000, at the time Mrs, Duke presided over her husband's mansions in New York and Newport. In recent years | she had been reduced to giving music I lessons to a handful of pupils. She had studied at one time under Jean l de Kes/ke. Miss Pugh said Mr. Duke knew of his former, wife's financial diffi culties before his death. In his will, tiled for probate an October 23 he made no provision for her, but he left the bulk of his estate now estimated at $1 50,000,000 to hi*t second wife, Mrs. ilanaline S. Duke, and to their daughter, Doris. Mrs. Lilian Duke stood on a knoll in Central- Park with tears streaming down her cheeks and watched the fun eral procession of her husband, on its way down Fifth avenue. She had several fainting spells af ter returning to her music, but con tinued to give music lessons for sev eral days without regard for her con dition. One of her few remaining pupils found her after the first hem orrhage and called a physician and obtained some food. After the second hemorrhage Mrs. Duke became com pletely paralyzed on the left side and lapsed into a coma. j Before marrying Mr. Duke in Cam ; den, N. J., in 1904 she was Mrs-. Wil ! !iam K. McCredy, wife of a New York i broker, from whom she was divorced, i A year after their marriage, Mr. I Duke brought suit for divorce, nam ' ing ais co-respondent Major Frank T. 1 Hunttoon, a former officer in the old guard and head of a mineral water concern. It was said at the time the divorce was granted that Mr. Duke made a settlement on her of $500,000, but Miss Pugh recently denied that Mrs. Duke received any sum from the to bacco man after the divorce. Three years ago, Alfred E. Lind say, a broker, was sent to Sing Sing prison for swindling Mrs. Duke of $325,00(1 in cash and $50,000 in jew elry. Mrs. I Hike brought suit last May to have her former husband's divorce j invalidated on the ground that at the ' time ?-he had refused to recognize the New Jersey courts and had reserved ? nil hrt right-*. Her application was denied. Miss Pugh said Mrs. Duke was about t<> file an appeal. To Florida in Ford; Walked Back.
