Mrs. Henry Brinton Coxe, Who Was To Have Wed, Restrained

West Chester, Pa., Dec. 30. The jury in lunacy in the case of Mrs. Isabel Brinton Coxe, the widow of the late Henry Brinton Coxe, filed its report in court here yesterday, finding her of unsound mind, and the report recommended that she be given into the care of her son, Alexander Brown Cox. The Girard Trust Company, of Philadelphia, was some time ago appointed trustee of her estate of $1,300,000.
 
Mrs. Coxe is at present in New York, and is said to be in ill health as the result of a stroke of apoplexy. She was formerly Miss Belle Brown the daughter of Alexander Brown, a prominent Philadelphia banker.
 
Some time ago she created a sensation by her determination to marry Dr. Hill, of Liverpool, whom she had met while in Europe.1
