In 1926, having been a widower for eleven years, he suddenly married Mona Bush, beauteous divorced wife of James Irving Bush of Winthrop, Mitchell...

He bought her more expensive clothes and jewels (including one of the world's finest emerald necklaces) than are worn by any other woman in Manhattan. He provided her with a house at Palm Beach, built her a magnificent house on Long Island...
