Theodore L. Bean Weds Mrs. White
Marriage of Divorcee and Attorney Recalls Suit Brought by Former Husband
White Wanted $50,000 for Alienation of Wife’s Affections – Process Was Subsequently Dropped
Residents along the Main Lane were surprised yesterday when they learned of the marriage, on Saturday last, of Mrs. Adele Cantrell White, divorced wife of W. Littell White, to Theodore Lane Bean, an attorney of this city and Norristown. Announcement of the marriage was made by Mr. and Mrs. A.W. Trimble, 3615 Spring Garden Street.
Mr. Bean, who is now at his summer home in Port Kennedy, Pennsylvania, declined to discuss the wedding. He was a widower and Mrs. White is well known along the Main Lane.
The wedding recalls the divorce obtained by Mr. White, July last, in Common Pleas Court, No. 5 and the summons issued against Mr. Bean last October by Mr. White, who demanded $50,000 damages for the alleged alienation of his wife’s affections. The suit was subsequently withdrawn, it is said, for the sake of White’s children.
According to the statement of claim, Mr. White married Adele Cantrell January 15, 1902. It was stated that their married life was happy until alleged secret attentions were paid to Mrs. White by Mr. Bean. It was averred that as a result of these alleged attentions Mr. White’s wife was induced to abandon her home and two of her children, Richard L., 14 years and William Littell Jr., 6.
Said to Have Been Reconciled
Mr. White stated further that subsequent to a telephone conversation which his wife had with Mr. Bean in the fall of 1914, when Mr. Bean was engaged as attorney to represent Mr. White in a case involving automobile speeding, Mr. Bean began to show an unusual interest in Mrs. White.
It was declared that there then followed a period during which Mrs. White was often induced to accompany Mr. Bean on various outings which were usually followed by a dinner and that Mr. Bean persuaded Mrs. White to visit his country home occasionally.
Mr. White alleged that his efforts to bring an end the affair between his wife and Mr. Bean were in vain and Mr. Bean persistently continued to contrive to be in the company of Mrs. White, thus alienating her affections.
The alienation suit followed habeas corpus proceeding in Norristown for the possession of White’s two sons.
White, general manager of a dental manufacturing company, withdrew the suit about two months after he had filed it.
Announcement was made later that Mr. and Mrs. White’s love for their children prompted a reconciliation.
