The Langworthys case centers on Edward Martin Langworthy who inherited about £150,000 and after marrying Mildred Sebine Palliser Lenz under dubious rites, faced a divorce court ruling that the marriage was invalid while alimony was ordered. He then evaded payment, and after the widow pursued damages, public press coverage suggested the pair’s downfall stemmed from family pressure and grief.
