England still talks of Baroness Eckhardstein divorce case
Special to The Son London July 30 England newspapers continue to scrutinize the divorce of Baron Von Eckhardstein and Baroness Eckhardstein. The baron married for money while the baroness loved him, with her father Sir John Blundell Maple aiding his debts. Maple paid about 3300 pounds in 1896 and the baroness later gave 1,000,000 of her fortune to meet obligations. The baron subjected her to cruelty and infidelity, calling her cheap, causing tears on their wedding journey and causing solitary stays in Paris and Berlin. Despite Sir John’s deathbed quarrel, more support was extended but debt and brutality led to a court decree against the baron.
