OUPED WIFE OF FAKE
LORD SEEKS DIVORCE

Oxford, Pa, Oct. 22.-Mrs. Irene
Stanley, of Calvert, Md, duped wife OF
the ~tramp-actor, who palmed himself
off on her as a millionaire nobleman,
Lord Stanley, earl of Aberdeen, cousin
of King Edward and boon companion
of the Belmonts, Astors and Wander
bits, of New York, with castles and
estates in London, Edinburg and va
rious other places, will apply for a di-
vorce.
This has been determined upon, and
the grounds for the suit will probably
be that the contract was obtained by
fraud and hence was void. AS yet. no
action has been taken, but very soon
proceedings will be begun toward an
nulling the marriage.
Mrs. Stanley, nee Clayton. is very
much broken by the happenings of 80
last few months. Her health and spfr-
Its have suffered by the unhappy end
ing of her strange romance, and the
gossip it occasioned among her friends
and neighbors has preyed upon her
mind until she is a ghost OF her form
er self. She said today:
Was Not Herself.
Eyes, I intend to apply for "a divorce
on h grounds of fraud. ] do not re-
member a thing about the marriage
ceremony. II 1t were not so silly, |
would believe that l was hypnotized. |
was certainly not myself at the time.
and the very instant l realized what
l had done, was only too anxious To get
rid of the bogus lord.
Il have not been well since my moth
er died, and l think my mind must have
been affected at that time. / ! have never
heard from Lord Stanley. since he left.
and hope l ] never shall.
Il only saw him a few moments after
the ceremony, and perhaps am not
really his wife after all, If the numer-
u reports spread abroad are true. |
am perfectly satisfied with the name
of Clayton, and had l desired to change
1t, could have done so years ago.
Il only want to forget the terrible
experience, and hope my friends Will
forget 1t, too. 1 have not yet decided
just when l shall institute proceedings
for the divorce. l would have done so
long ago, but for my dread of recalling
the terrible episode and causing more
talk among my neighbors."
