TO CONTEST WILL The Death of Benjamin Hart Un covers Romance LEAVES ALL TO MISTRESS His Adopted Daughter is Disinherited Estate Worth Several Millions of Dollars Will be Fought by the Girl Who Claims Full Rights. ' v FARIS, June 25. The death here in May of Benjamin Hart, a million aire American, who resided in Paris ulniost continuously or the past 25 years, has uncovered a romance which promises to have a court 8C(rtcl in a suit brought by the adopt ed daughter whom Hr. Hart disin herited in his will. Hart was a Vir ginian by birth, but he was well known in New York where he lived for many years, and where he amass ed a large fortune during the Civil War. lie was married while he lived in America but later was divorced. As there were no children by the union, Mr. Hart during one of his visits to Paris adopted a pretty three-year-old child, Isabel Luchesi, and nwtnrrnA Willi fllfl nUt'OUt t( R((Mlt here. The little girl was " tenderly reared by Hart after the divorce from his wife, and every care was bestow ed upon her education and training. In 1892, when Isabel was 17 years , old Hart formally adopted her in New York under the laws of that . state. At this time he was con structing a magnificent residence in j the Rue Galilee, and moved in the highest American, and foreign circles in Paris, The adopted daughter about this time contracted a marriage with a distinguished young French diplo mat, Jean Guillcmin, a brother of the Countess of Montcbcllo and who is now counsellor of the French Em bassy at Vienna. Guillcmin is well known in American where he was despatched by M. Delcasse upon two missions. After the residence in the Rue Galilee was completed and luxurious ly furnished for occupancy. Hart formed a mesalliance with a Madame de Hie and installed her as the mis tress of the house. Naturally his friends were shocked and began to drop him. It is charged that Madame de Bie conceived a, violent hatred for the daughter- because the latter re fused to recogni her position in the Hart household. At any rate, when Mr. Hart died it was found that 'he had left a will specifically disinherit ing the daughter and beQeuathing all his property, which amounted to sev eral millions of dollars, principally personal property in America to Madame d- Bie. Madame Guillcmin has instructed her lawyer, Donald Harper, to bring suit to break the will on the ground of undue influ ence. The document will also be con tested as it was drafted in accordance with the New York law, whereas it is claimed Hart was domiciled, in France. Froof that he regarded this as his domicile is said to exist in the purchase deed of a lot in the St. Germain ; cemetery, where he is buried. This lo was bought "in per petuity" which is regarded as evi dence that he had no intention of returning to America to live. Mr. Hart's will will come for probate be fore the Surrogate of New York on July 30. , Subscribe to the Morning Astorian, 60 dents per month, delivered by carrier.
