New York, Aug. pa new and inter
esting turn is at hand in the Gould
| Nicolaus case.
Lawyer Alexander Simpson, leila S
| counsel, said that he intends either to
| amend the declaration in the present
case so as to include charge of assault
against George Gould, or to bring an
other suit on that charge.
| The assault in question is alleged by
Lawyer Simpson to have taken place in
| the early part of 1893 before Miss Nico-
laus departed so suddenly for Europe
in company with al. Ruhman. Mr..
Simpson declined to state the exact
time or place of the assault.
The lawyer today notified Lawyer

the papers in the new suit as soon as
he had finished consulting the law on
the subject.

rested on the new charge on his arrival
in this city from Europe Lawyer Simp-
son declined to state. Mr.. Gould is now

Lawyer Lindabury today served no.
tice on Zella's counsel that the defense
will apply to the presiding judge for a

defense. are afraid to try the case before
a jury selected from the regular panel.
