Felix Du Pont, prominent member of the wealthy Du Pont clan of Delaware, departed for California today on an "automobile honeymoon" with Ann B.

Chichester Du Pont, who had been his wife since 1902. He charged extreme cruelty. District Judge Thomas F. Moran performed the ceremony in Reno, where Du Pont had been residing under the name of Ames while waiting for Nevada's six weeks' pre-divorce period to expire. Lester Summerfield, Du Pont's attorney, said the bride had been divorced in the East.
