"See you when we get there"
A million times we've needed you
A million times we have cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died.
In Life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still
For in our hearts you hold
A place no one could ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God took you home.

Nancy OAKES,
Heiress: 1924-2005
The Toronto-born socialite's courtroom testimony helped save
her playboy husband from the gallows. He had been accused in
the sensational 1943 murder of her father, the Ontario mining
magnate Harry
OAKES
By Tom HAWTHORN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Saturday, February
19, 2005 - Page S9
A young Nancy
OAKES faced a tragedy beyond comprehension. Her
millionaire father, Sir Harry
OAKES, was bludgeoned and set afire
at his beachfront mansion in the Bahamas; her playboy husband,
a Mauritian-born count, was charged with the murder.
Police described to her in sordid detail a killing about which
they had no doubt as to guilt. The widow, Eunice Lady
OAKES,
believed police had fingered the culprit. The opinion was shared
by her peers in Bahamian high society, who at last found an excuse
for their lingering dislike of the foreigner with a French title.
In the face of overwhelming animosity, with evidence weighing
against her husband, Nancy
OAKES chose to believe the word of
the man with whom she had eloped a scant 14 months earlier. The
love affair scandalized her parents, who harboured great antipathy
for a son-in-law they suspected of being a gigolo and a gold
digger. The daughter's marriage put at risk her inheritance of
one of the world's greatest fortunes, created from gold found
in Northern Ontario.
Blessed with the good fortune to be born the beautiful daughter
of a multimillionaire, with auburn hair that turned heads at
the yacht club, Nancy
OAKES accepted the role of faithful and
trusting wife with a sang-froid beyond her years. She agreed
to be the final witness for the defence at her husband's trial.
Her testimony could determine his fate -- freedom, or the gallows.
She was just 19.
The murder and subsequent trial bumped war news from the front
page of newspapers around the English-speaking world in 1943.
The teenaged bride would forever after be known for what happened
in those days, a legacy that she would carry to her death, on
January 16 in London, at the age of 80.
The case has inspired a television mini-series, as well as Hollywood
films and several true-crime books. Novelists also have delighted
in the characters: a wealthy gold miner, his beautiful (but spoiled)
daughter, her louche lover, and, irresistibly, the Duke of Windsor,
the abdicated Edward VIII appointed governor of the colony, who
was to have golfed with Mr.
OAKES on the day of his murder and
whose inexplicable interference with the investigation raises
questions that remain unanswered to this day.
Born in Toronto, Nancy
OAKES was the first of Harry
OAKES's five
children. Their father was a gruff and irascible man whose ample
generosity did not always extend to his offspring.
Mr. OAKES, who was born and raised in Maine, quit medical school
as a young man to join the Klondike gold rush in 1898. He laboured
in poverty for years before staking a successful claim near Swastika,
Ontario He later sold his share in the claim to finance what
would become the greatest gold discovery in the Western Hemisphere,
the Lake Shore Mine at Kirkland Lake.
Soon, he was the richest man in the land, owning a lakeside chateau
near the mine as well as a hilltop estate on 20 acres overlooking
the Niagara River. These would be Nancy
OAKES's first homes.
In 1934, he abandoned Canada for the British West Indies to avoid
taxes levied on his great fortune by the Conservatives. Five
years later, he was granted a baronetcy by the king for his philanthropy.
His eldest daughter was schooled at Heathfield in Ascot, England
the Fermata in Aiken, S. C.; and the French School for Girls
in New York. She spent holidays with her family on the Bahamian
archipelago. On one of those visits she danced with Marie-Alfred
Fouquereaux DE
MARIGNY, known as Count
MARIGNY of Mauritius to
the newspapers and
as Freddie
MARIGNY to his Friends. Majestic
at 6-foot-5, dark-skinned from many hours aboard his yacht, he
was possessed of many flamboyant skills.
On May 19, 1942, two days after Nancy
OAKES attained her majority,
she was married to her dashing suitor by a county-court judge
in a ceremony in the Bronx. News of the elopement shocked her
parents, who disapproved of the groom, who, at 32, was already
twice divorced. (Sir Harry seemed to forget he was 48 when he
married Eunice
McINTYRE, 26, following a whirlwind romance.)
Relations were frosty.
On the morning of July 8, 1943, Sir Harry was discovered on his
back in bed in his second-floor chambers at Westbourne, a seaside
estate surrounded by hibiscus and bougainvillea. He was found
by his best friend, Harold
CHRISTIE, a wealthy real-estate agent
risen from poverty who was the baron's only house guest that
night.
As court would be told, Sir Harry's face was blackened by soot,
his groin and left hand burned. He had four small puncture wounds
above his left ear. Blood from his ear had dried across the bridge
of his nose. The body was covered in small pillow feathers, which
waved grotesquely from the stirrings in the room.
As governor, the Duke of Windsor decided not to entrust the investigation
into the murder of the colony's wealthiest citizen to the local
constabulary, nor to Scotland Yard. Instead, he called in two
detectives from nearby Miami. If the duke wished a quick resolution,
he got it. Within hours, the detectives arrested Mr. DE
MARIGNY,
announcing they had found his fingerprints on a Chinese bed screen
at the murder scene.
The count's wife, who, like her mother and siblings was in the
United States at the time of the killing, returned home convinced
of her spouse's innocence. She visited him in jail twice a week.
"I do all I can to make my husband comfortable," she told a reporter.
"I send linens and special dishes to him -- chicken and fish
and things like that. I suppose Freddie is what you'd call
a gourmet."
Meanwhile, Sir Harry's will was filed for probate shortly before
the opening of what was billed as the trial of the century. Rumours
of disinheritance proved wrong. The will, representing Nassau
holdings only, disposed of £3,671,700. The widow was awarded
one-third, with the remainder to be divided among the five children.
The countess was to receive two-fifteenths of her father's fortune
on turning 30, with an annual living allowance until then.
A Bahamas Supreme Court jury heard the Miami detectives present
the Crown's only physical evidence against the count, a single
print from the pinky finger of his right hand, introduced as
Exhibit J.
The count wept silently in the dock before composing himself
as his wife began testifying on November 9, 1943. She was dressed
in a black suit with white polka dots, wearing a white hat and
white gloves, "an appealing figure," one writer noted, "composed
but pale."
The defence wished to use her testimony to rebut the Crown's
suggested motive for murder.
"Mrs. DE MARIGNY," asked defence counsel, "at any time during
your married life has the accused ever attempted to obtain money
from you?"
"No," Nancy replied.
"Has the accused ever made a statement of hatred toward your
father?"
"No."
The defence had demolished earlier the Crown's fingerprint evidence,
proving the print had come not from the bed screen but likely
from an opaque drinking glass, or the cellophane wrap from a
pack of cigarettes. Both had been handed to the count by the
Miami detectives, raising questions as to their competence, if
not criminality.
The jury deliberated for one hour, 55 minutes before reaching
a verdict of not guilty on a 9-3 vote. The verdict was cheered
in the courtroom, yet the jury had also called for the count's
expulsion from the colony.
With the baron's estate tied up in court, the young couple auctioned
household goods to finance their exile in Cuba, where they stayed
with Ernest Hemingway.
By 1945, they had separated, the count signing an agreement reneging
on claims on her inheritance. He came to Montreal and enlisted
in the Canadian Army. In 1949, the New York Supreme Court ruled
the count's second divorce had not met statutory requirements
at the time he married the heiress. Their marriage was annulled.
In April, 1946, the heiress flew to Copenhagen after receiving
news of the death of Joergen Edsberg, a Danish Royal Air Force
pilot she planned to marry as soon as each obtained a divorce.
She arrived the day after a military funeral attended by the
pilot's wife and son, leaving a bouquet of lilacs at a grave
left open at the request of the pilot's mother.
Nancy OAKES's life was filled with tragic loss, her father's
savage murder being only the best known. An aunt drowned in the
sinking of the liner S.S. Mohawk off the New Jersey coast in
1935; a brother, William Pitt
OAKES, died of a heart attack complicated
by a liver ailment at 27 in 1958; brother Sydney, who inherited
Sir Harry's title, was killed at 39 in 1966 when his Sunbeam
Alpine failed to negotiate a curve. A sister, Shirley, spent
the final years of her life in a coma following an accident.
After the war, Nancy
OAKES provided fodder for gossip columnists
by being squired by dashing Hollywood stars. "Heiress Nancy
OAKES
and Philip Reed are Movietown's Big Talk," Walter Winchell wrote
in an item typical of what was also to be found under the bylines
of Dorothy Kilgallen and Hedda Hopper.
In a candlelight church ceremony performed by the Lord Bishop
of Nassau before a society crowd on December 29, 1952, Nancy
OAKES wed Baron Ernst Lyssardt
VON
HOYNINGEN-
HUENE of Oberammergau,
Germany, a union that would end in divorce less than four years
later.
On March 1, 1962, she married Patrick Claude Henry Tritton, a
Cambridge-educated importer of typewriters and firefighting equipment.
Her third wedding was held before a handful of close Friends
at the British ambassador's residence in Mexico City. Mr. Tritton
was said to have been the model for the Anthony Powell character
Dicky Umfraville, a likeable rogue.
After that marriage failed, she resumed using her second husband's
name, not discouraging the practice of being called the baroness.
Erle Stanley Gardner, the creator of Perry Mason, called the
baffling case "the greatest murder mystery of all time." Sent
by Time magazine to cover the trial, he maintained Sir Harry
was not killed in bed, but was moved there after death, as the
burns on the bedding did not match those on the body. As well,
the dried blood across the bridge of the nose indicated the body
had been rolled over after death. The writer raised the spectre
of the baron being tortured.
The murder has been attributed to a love triangle, to a voodoo
ritual killing, and to mobsters Meyer Lansky and Lucky Luciano,
whose dreams of casinos in the colony might have been thwarted
by the powerful Sir Harry. Even the Duke of Windsor is not above
suspicion.
Count DE MARIGNY, who died in Houston in 1998, wrote a book accusing
Mr. OAKES's best friend, Mr. Christie, later Sir Harold, of ordering
the murder. The crime remains unsolved 61 years after Nancy
OAKES
successfully asserted her husband's innocence.

1924. She died in London on January 16, aged 80, and was buried
in Nassau, the Bahamas, on January 28. She leaves a son, Baron
