Kzru T. Stlmson, millionaire lum
ber magnate who died here May
17, 1924. has found another ro
mance this time in far-off

The romance of tho former
Miss Virginia (Jay, nurse, of Med
ford, Ore., and the wealthy capi

tho sensation of Kan Francisco

years.
It precipitated the divorce suit
brought against Htimson by his
first wife, and a dramatic chain
of events, which Included the
sequestration by Mrs. Htimson of
more than f 1,000.000 of the St. in
Hon fortune while a hearing on
the divorce was pending.
Stimson transferred 1750,000
In cash and securities to his first
wife. Shortly after the property
settlement was made, Mrs. Htim
son was granted an uncontested
divorce in Los Angeles.
A year later, in 1!)17, Htimson
married Miss Gay. They made
their home in Han Francisco.
