Double Pneumonia Takes
Subject of Much Good
y” From Newspa-
rs yW h e n W. E. D.
Blokes Succumbs.
W. E. D. Stokes. who died in New
York yesterday after an attack of
double pneumonia. had a most va-
ried and exciting career in business
and in private life and he provided
a great deal of good “copy" for the
newspaper front pages.
The history of William Eerie
Dodge Stokes is chiefly the history
of his litigation—both divorce and
civil—which kept him almost con-
stantly in the courts and the lime-
light.
l-lis marital carccr. consisting of
two marriages. one diiorce and an
unsuccessful aticniptfor five years
to. divorce his second wife.
Helen Elwood Stokes, attracted
wide attention.
father. James Stokes, property vai-
ued at Oil. 000. 000. Figures revealed
by his second wife when she sued
him for dower rights showed that
his not estate was 87. .38, 000.
On his graduation from Yale Unl-
verslty in it“. Stokes showed a
talent for finance and' became as-
sociated with his father in business.
On the lattcr's death he built the
Ansonia Hotel and conducted it un-
til 1011 when be leased it for aflong
term for several million dollars.
Married First In 1895.
His first marriage was in 1895 to
Rite. Hernandes de Alba Acosta.
daughter of a wealthy. Cuban. land-
ed family, described by Paul Helleu,
the painter. ‘Is “the most nearly
perfectly beautiful woman in tho
ViD'Ol‘ld." They had one child. W. E.
D. Sick}: Jr.. and in 1900 she dl.
vorced im secretly. alleging infi-
dellty.
Later she became the‘ fiancee of
the Rev. Percy Stickney Grant. for-
'mer rector of the Church of the
Ascension. who was forbidden by
Bishop Manning to marry her be-
cause sho was divorced.
In 1011. Stokes married Miss Hel.
on Elwood. Denver, Col. She was
twenty-two years old while the ho-
tel men gave his age as "over forty-
five years old." Two children were
born to them.
Stokes. in 1019. began divorce
proceedings. alleging misconduct by
his wife "with upward of ten corres-
pondents." Mrs. Stokes replied with
across-bill. charging “cruel and in-
human trcatment." After two years
litigation the court ruled that Mrs
Stokes had not been proved unfaith-
ful, but that she did not deserve a
divorce because she had written en-
dearing letters to her husband dur-
ing the period of the “cruel treat-
ment."
With difficulty Stokes obtained a.
retrial of the case. But before it
began District Attorney Pecora dis-
closed .thst four witnesses had testi-
fied falsely in relation. to Stokos'
charges that his wife had been seen
in the apartment of Edgar T. Wal-
lace. wealthy California oil men.
As a result the wife sued her step-
son, W. E. D. lick”. Jr-, for 81.-
000.000 charging t he tried to
detramc her character and had
ted in Chicago on the same allege-
lion.
The civil suit Wu dropped. while
a. jury acquittedltokee “of insertin-
inal charge. The second .divor‘ce
case however, continued for nearly
three more years and again ended
in the defeat of Stokes.
