DR. ]. |. BRAUSE
DENIES STORY

Deprived OF q hearing on serious
charges preferred against him oy
his wife in the District Supreme
Court, DR.. Jacob L. Brause, we'll
known washington dentist, today
protested against publicity indicat-
ing that his wife had been victor
in q limited divorce action q year
ago.
According to q news story car
ried in The Washington Times June
19. Mrs, Brause won her case last
year and YVES awarded $S5 a month
alimony.
'aThese are not the facts" said
DR.. Brause. ST have never had
hearing on any Of the charges my
wife has made against me.
cit is true she filed suit for
limited divorce last year, but the
case has never come to trial. The
court awarded her temporary all
mony to the amount stated in the
story. pending settlement OF the
case. This is the custom in such
cases."
Temporary Alimopy Reduced
DR.. Brause declared that the case
| which his wife filed year ago
came up for hearing on its merits
several weeks ago, and that his
attorney, Albert w. Jacobson, an
nounced to the court that the den-
tist and his witnesses were in court
ready to refute the charges made
against him by his wife.
Raymond Neudecker, attorney for
Mrs. Brause, blocked action with
the statement that his client had
been injured in an accident and
was unable to appear in court. The
court stated that DR.. Brause was
entitled to a trial, but granted a
postponement and at the same time
reduced the alimony to $50 per
month.
DR.. Brause further stated that all
efforts by both himself and his
counsel to learn the whereabouts
Of Mrs. Brause have been without
avail, and that he communicated
with her parents in Norfolk, Va,
who informed him that SO far as
they knew she was in good health.
Latest Move
The latest move in the case was
the action of the wife on June 1s.
when she filed a new bill Of com.
plant citing the charges set forth
in her original bill, which has never
been heard, and also adding new
allegation of misconduct. The al
legation with reference to the mis-
conduct pertains to matters which
were supposed to have occurred
some six months ago.
Il - - - AoS 81 q
withheld filing q suit fer miscon'
duct for such a long period OF time,
DR.. Brause feels this action was
taken because his wife felt that she
would be unable to maintain the al
legations in the original bill Of COM
plant for limited divorce, and filed
the new bin so that the matter would
be before the court for many more
months to come without a hearing.
Filed Counter Suit
DR.. Brause further stated that
he filed a counter suit some time
ago, but stated that the contents
were Of confidential nature and
that he did not desire publication
Of the contents as he had no desire
to subject his wife to embarrass-
ment.
81 feel that the purpose of all
this publicity on the part of my
wife has been intended to deprive
me of my good name, reputation
and standing in my profession, and
to bring me into scandal, public
hatred, contempt, ridicule, and pro-
fessional disrepute, and to deprive
me of the enjoyment and confidence
reposed in me by my friends, pa.
tients and the public generally" I"
DR.. Brause asserted.
