WEALTHY MAN’S LOVE.

A REMARKABLE ROMANCE. WOMAN MARRIES ANOTHER. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received July 21, 5.5 p.m. London, July 20. A remarkable romance of the late Mr. Walter Winans, a famous American sportsman, was disclosed before the King’s Bench. An action was brought by the administrator of the estate against a married couple named Lycett, and it was to recover £125,000, on the ground that it was obtained from Mr. Winans by fraudulent representation. Counsel stated that Mrs. Lycett represented herself to Mr. Winans as unmarried and destitute, and needing money. Mr. Winans, whose wife left him years previously and went away with another man, met Mrs. Lycett in 1900, when she was 18 and the wife of a man named Wainwright, and Mr. Winans became very fond of her. Ten years later Mrs. Wainwright made the acquaintance of Lycett, a curate. Wainwright divorced his wife in 1914 on the ground of misconduct with a man unknown. At this stage she approached Mr. Winans, who made her presents of gifts and money amounting to £135,000. This continued until 1920. Mrs. Wainwright running up bills in all directions, including a sable skunk costing 1250 guineas, and furniture costing £19,000. Mr. Winans idolised the woman, but the crash came when Mr. Winans learned that Mrs. Wainwright, within 20 days of the decree being made I absolute, had married Lycett and was livi ing with him in another village. The dis- , covery drove Mr. Winans mad, and he never saw her again. After counsel’s statement the case was settled.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
