home in Switzerland and that
she had moved in with friends.
Her Swiss lawyer, Eugen Curti,
announced yesterday that she
is seeking a divorce after three
years of marriage.
The lawyer said Mrs. Porum-
beanu. who was left the income
from a $40 million trust Of the
Remington typewriter fortune,
also has withdrawn powers of
attorney her husband had held.
The Timetable
He said the divorce would
be completed within three
months if Mr.. Porumbeanu
does not contest the suit. If
he does, the action may take
several years, Mr.. Curti said.
The couple is scheduled ten
tatively to meet with an Erlen-
bach magistrate Friday for q
formal attempt at reconcilia-
ton. Under Swiss law, such an
attempt must be made before
a divorce proceeding can be
undertaken.
The couples whirlwind ro-
nance from Long Island
beaches to Paris night clubs
drew worldwide headlines and
bitter opposition from Mrs.
Katherine Geddes Benedict,
CANDLES grandmother, who
called Mr.. Porumbeanu a for
tune-hunter.
Gamble and her grandmother
never were reconciled, but Mrs.
Benedict left Gamble the bulk
of the family fortune at her
death october 20, 1861.
Mr.. Porumbeanu's first wife,
Madi, whom Mr.. Porumbeanu
divorced three weeks before his
marriage to Gamble, said at the
time that Gamble doesn't
know what she is letting her
self in for"
Mr.. Porumbeanu and Gamble
met in the summer of 1859 on
Long Island. He was q society
chauffeur then and later be-
came a hairdresser.
Junket to Paris
Instead of finishing her
freshman year at Briarcliff Col
lege, Gamble took a freighter
to Belgium with Porumbeanu
in January of 1860. They
turned up in Paris night clube.
Family lawyers took Gamble
back to New York after two
weeks. A New York court de-
clared her a wayward minor.
In ensuing legal battles the
lovers defied the courts and
applied for a marriage license
in Dillon, S. c. They were
turned down there but uncoun-
tered no difficulty in North
Carolina. They were wed April
6, 1860, before a justice Of the
peace in Hendersonville, N. C.
