George Gould Gets the Paper and De-
nounces Her - . Blackmsiler.
and She Sues Him.

NEW YoRK, Dec 1.-THE World says:
The case of Celia Nicolaus against George
Gould appears in an entirely new
light. According 10 the statement Of
friends OF Mrs. Nicolaus she originally
obtained the $40. 900 check from Howard
Gould when the latter was attending the
Worlds far in Chicago. 1t is said be be-
came infatuated with Mrs. Nicolaus and
gave her the check, which had
been given him by George Gould
of Jay Gould's estate. George Gould
learned OF the transaction with Mrs. Mic
CLAUS IN time 20 stop payment of the
check in Chicago. Mrs. Nieolaus went
to New York and Howard Gould
promised to set the matter right There
was q stormy interview between George
and Howard, the former declaring the
sum too large to pay any woman. Howard
refused to break with Mrs. Nicolaus. who
waited upon George and threatened TO
bring suit.
George consulted Supt Byrnes, who sent
for Mrs. Nicolaus and threatened her with
arrest as blackmailer. She detied him to
arrest her on such charge. and said she
had done nothing for which she could be
arrested and would not leave the city un-
til the matter was settled. She stated that
George Gould said that for family reasons
he did not want the check to go through
the bank with her signature. and If
she would give up the check he would
pay her $4,000 in bills. She agreed to
this and received two bills of $500 each,
supposing that he would count out the re-
mainder. but he grabbed the check and
threatened to have her arrested as black
mailer. Hence the suit.
