Following the accident at the Van

Brandleys hatpin was driven into the
right eye OF Guido O. Groebe, presi-
dent of the Groebe- McGovern Com
pany, at Clinton and Lawrence streets,
as he was assisting her to alight from
her automobile. it became known to-
day that Mrs. Brandley, who lives at
9S5 Broad street, has been served with
papers in divorce proceeding insti-
tuted by her husband, Edward J..
Brandley, Of 40 Atlantic street, a
wealthy real estate owner and letter
carrier.
Now Mrs. Brandley is grieving over
the probable loss of her friends eye, as
we'll as the affections of her husband.
The petition for divorce on statutory
grounds was filed for Mr.. Brandley
three weeks ago by his lawyer, George
Clymer. Arthur Hammeleft, former
automobile dealer Of this city, has
been named as correspondent. and it is
alleged that the husband has corrobo-
rative proof of his wife's. infidelity, of
her trips to seaside hotels with the CO.
respondent, and that she personally
made confession to her husband.
To Make No Contest.
Mrs. Brandley will not contest the
suit, and when seen by an EVENING
STAR reporter said that she did not
wish to contradict any statement made
by her husband, excepting that she
rte,ta I.Afa M
man before or during her four years of
married life.
II still love and always will respect
my husband" said Mrs. Brandley. ut
is just a question of temperament be-
tween u.s. crave life and excitement
and my husband is a quiet, stay-at-
home man
HE has always been good to me,
and I regret that we had to part five
months ago"
Mrs. Brandley expressed sorrow over
the accident at the Vanderbilt race.
She said that she, with party of
friends. went to the races and on their
arrival met Mr.. Groebe, who had been
there some time. When he saw Mrs.
Brandley he stepped up to her auto
mobile and while assisting her to
alight she fell forward, driving a hat
pin into his right eye. Mrs. Brandley
denies that she went to the races with
Mr. Groebe.
Resided In Wickliffe Street.
Until five months ago Mr. and Mrs.
Brandley were living at 122 Wickliffe
street.
1t is alleged that there had been
many quarrels during the married life
of the couple.
Mrs. Brandley says that since her
husband did not go to places of amuse-
ment with her as often as she wished
him to. she was forced to accept the
of other men, but that she
never went with them without her
husband s knowledge. .'v-~.s- ..,,
"Gossipy neigktbors.' declared, .Mrs.'
Brandley, caused the trouble.
"JeaIous," Says Mrs. BrandIey.
They were jealous o. me because
men payed me compliments and
ignored them. | have always been
faithful to my husband, despite my
seeming friendship for others of the
opposite sex, but when five months ago
my husband accused me to being too
frivolous and too extrayagant, |
thought it best that we should part.
Since then my husband wished to take
me back, but | refused to live with
him. l regret now that | was so stub
born"
The Brandleys still see each other, 1t
is said, and occasionally discuss the
divorce suit over the telephone.
The husband, in discussing the case,
spoke wistfully about what might
have been"
Tries 10 Please Wife.
I'VE had lovely home," said Mr..
Brandley, land l made it as comfor-
table as l could for my wife. Although
/ am a letter-carrier. | have a good
income from my real estate invest
ments. My parents left me consider
able property. and / am by no means
a poor man. Rose simply did not know
a good thing when she had 1t. Instead
of enjoying the life of well-to-do mar
ried woman, she now goes out to earn
her own living.
Despite the fact that the corespon-
dent and Mrs. Barndley have not been
together in two years. it was dis
covered about a month ago by Mr..
Brandley's lawyer, SO he claims, that
Arthur Hammeleft's name could be
safely used as a correspondent
