WIFE GRANTED DIVORCE
FROM JOHN PHILIP HILL
Plea of Desertion Since 1932 Wins
Absolute Decree for Prominent
Baltimore Woman.
By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, April 22—Mrs. Su
zanne Carroll Hill won an absolute
divorce today from Brig. Gen. John
Philip Hill on charges of desertion.
Hill, a former Representative and
World War veteran, is prominent
here, as is Mrs. Hill. She told the
court that she and her husband had
been separated since 1932. The couple
was married in 1913 and has three
children.
Simpson
(Continued From First Page.)
Mrs. Simpson Is unmarried when her
English decree nisi becomes abso
lute.
“I cannot understand,” Keith con
cluded, “why at the proceedings at
Ipswich, strict proof of the validity
of the first divorce was not required,
and If available, given."
When Keith raised the Issue a
month ago other authorities were in
clined to agree on the law, but con
sidered the Ipswich decree as assur
(eda,r Hill

ance the English courts considered the
the Warrenton decree legal.
The date for the wedding of Wind
sor and Mrs. Simpson was expected to
be either June 19, Mrs. Simpson's
birthday, or June 23, which is Wind
sor's.
The ceremony, which their friends
say will be attended by his sister Mary,
the princess royal, and the Duke of
Kent, who will be best man, Is likely
to be at the Chateau de Cande at
Tours, France, where Mrs. Simpson
now is in residence.
Definite fixing of a date, however,
was said to await the duke’s arrival
at the chateau after Mrs. Simpson’s
divorce decree is made final April 27.
Friends of Windsor doubt if he will
leave Austria before the coronation of
King George VI on May 12 for, al
though he says he is “counting the
days” until he sees Mrs. Simpson
again, he is determined to give his
brother a ‘‘clear run” during the coro
nation.
The middle of May was the earliest
date his friends would set for the
reunion between the two.
Despite reports of a last-minute in
tervention to stop the divorce, legal
authorities considered -the case fin
ished except for the technical appli
cation for the final decree which can
be made absolute any time after next
Tuesday.
It was understood that Sir Thomas
Barnes, the King's proctor, who is
charged with supervision of divorce
court conduct during the period of
the decree nisi, was continuing to
receive letters protesting against the
divorce, but they were considered the
work of cranks.
The office of the proctor would not
discuss any possibility of a hitch in
the arrangements, declaring:
“This office reveals nothing to any
one. It is no part of the job of the
King's proctor to make any disclosures
about intervention.”
