Letter indicates Dianetics founder, baby fled to Cuba
Indications that Dianetics founder L. Ron Hubbard, 40, has fled to Cuba with
the baby daughter he is accused of kidnapping were contained today in a
letter submitted to the court by Mrs. Sara Northrup Hubbard, 25.
Mrs. Hubbard, who is suing for divorce on the grounds her husband is insane
and who accused him of having kidnapped their daughter, Alexis, 13 months,
last February 24th, presented to Superior Judge W. Turney Fox a letter
written by Hubbard to her last April 15th.
The letter was submitted to bolster her request to serve Hubbard with
divorce papers by publication since he has not been located for personal
service. Judge Fox granted the petition.
This is Hubbard's letter to his wife:
"Dear Sara I have been in the Cuban military hospital and I am being
transferred to the United States next week as a classified scientist immune
from interference of all kind".
"Though I will be hospitalized probably a long time. Alexis is getting
excellent care. I see her every day. She is all I have to live for".
"My wits never gave way under all you did and let them do, but my body
didn't stand up. My right side is paralyzed and getting more so. I hope my
heart lasts".
"I may live a long time and again I may not. But Dianetics will last 10,000
years-for the Army and Navy have it now".
"My will is all changed. Alexis will get a fortune unless she goes to you,
as she would then get nothing. Hope to see you once more. Goodbye-I love
you".
Mrs. Hubbard who seeks custody of her little girl, said that Hubbard's
Dianetics foundation did a $1,000,000.00 business last year.
