GIRL GETS HOME IN TIME TO DIE
Norfolk, Va.- Florence Schenck, who eloped seven years ago with Charles Wilson, Alfred Vanderbilt's manager, died at Protestant Hospital yesterday, following a lingering illness. She was brought back to Norfolk yesterday from New York by her father, Dr. Powhatan S. Schenck, who is health commisioner of this city.
Miss Schenck was seventeen when she ran away from her home. She had recently brought suit against Wilson for fraud for a marriage which she declares took place in Paddington, England, three days before the interlocutory decree from the former Mrs. Wilson was in full force. The case was recently argued before Justice Gavegan, in New York, who reserved his decision.
