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. ,
