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.
