Newburger granted her divorce from hubby Walter Floeckher just months after the cuckolded husband discovered his wife shacking up with an “unknown” man on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn in October 1915. ‘Newburger left Helen with a scarlet letter, forbidding her from remarrying, even though he allowed her ex to find a second wife.’ Cohalan chose to punish Frieda with what was a popular penalty for cheaters at the time: He barred her from remarrying.Īccording to the divorce decree that Cohalan signed in April 1916, “Plaintiff be at liberty to again marry during the lifetime of the defendant, the same as if the defendant were dead, and that the defendant should not be entitled to remarry during the lifetime of the plaintiff.”Īnother unfulfilled wife of the era was Manhattanite Helen Floeckher. “Such adultery was not committed with the consent, connivance, privity or procurement of the plaintiff,” the document said. “At diverse places and various times, from on or about the 1st day of October 1914 and up to and including the present time, the defendant committed adultery with a male person known to this plaintiff by the name of Ulric Gingras,” according to the filing. Frieda and Ulric continued their trysts at Ulric’s West 66th Street apartment until Otto finally filed for divorce in 1915.

Wright’s defense? He never used hypnosis on his wife. “She was entirely subject to his will, and he threatened her that unless she consented to a marriage with him she would be destroyed and killed,” her suit said.

Cadman filed for divorce a year later, citing Wright’s “character.” She accused Wright, whose real name was Frank Dutton Jackson, of “falsely and fraudulently” representing to her that he was a “respectable, honest, law-abiding and honorable man of good moral character.” Wright came to New York to visit his benefactress, and the pair quickly married in a scenic Niagara Falls ceremony in November 1913.
