Baroness von Hutten Seeks Divorce from “Too Good” Husband
In Rome a German court grants Baroness Betsy von Hutten a divorce from Baron von Hutten on grounds of desertion. No alimony, custody limited to one month yearly. She, once Betsy Riddle of Erie, Pa, rose to European title while writing popular novels to fund her lifestyle. The baron’s thrift kept debts at bay while the marriage endured, until artistic temperament sparked conflict. The baron insists the issue is temper, not temperament, and the baroness blames her spouse’s excessive goodness.
