Widow Leeds Rejects French Prince Murat for American Fortune
New York reports the widow of William B. Leeds, a steel magnate and Tinplate Trust founder, refused the marriage offer of Prince Joachim Napoleon Murat. The 24 year old cavalry officer sought status and wealth, but Mrs. Leeds chose independence over foreign title. Her long marriage to Leeds, its social dramas, and her European-dwelling life are noted, including disputes over a pearl necklace valued at $200,000 and her stance against remarriage.
