Duke Sues Over Detention in Brooklyn Court
The half-brother of the American Tobacco Company president, Duke, was held in a seminary-like custody following his marriage to Fee Webb, but was declared sane by Justice Gaynor after a habeas corpus hearing. The petition, brought by Duke’s private secretary, claimed his liberty was deprived without consent or due process. Mrs. Duke did not attend the hearing. The original suit, filed by Duke’s son Lawrence, claimed his father suffered alcoholic dementia.
