GOULD BUTLER
Forced His Way Into the House
After Disobeying the Rules.

~ New York Herald.
Mrs. Howard Gould appeared in court at
Port Washington, l.. l., Tuesday, before
Justice Of the Peace Allen, as complainant
against Eric Hamilton, whom she engaged
last Wednesday as chief butler in her
household. After hearing her story Jus
tice Allen sent Hamilton to jail for year
upon his failure to give bonds for $500
to keep the peace.
Mrs. Gould took Hamilton into her en-
ploy at Mr.. Gould's city residence, at No.
1924 Fifth avenue. She informed him that
it was rule of the household that none
of the servants should remain out later
than 8 o'clock in the evening. Hamilton
gave good references and promised not to
violate the restrictions of the house
Apparently these made but O brief inn
preston on his mind. He went out on
Thursday, and did not get back again I'M
til half past 2 o'clock on Friday morning.
Mrs. Gould took him to task for this, but
when he made explanations and promised
not to offend again, she decided to give
him another chance.
One of the footmen became i'll on Fri
day night and gave Hamilton dollar
bill with which to purchase medicine.
Hamilton took the money and went out.
He did not come back until Saturday
morning, looking the worse for wear
Mr.. and Mrs Gould had planned to go
to Courtgould. their country place at Port
Washington, on Saturday morning. Ham
ilton was to have gone with them, but
when he did not return they went with
out him.
Hamilton, finding that they had left,
packed his valfse, and followed them. He
arrived at Courtgould on Saturday night,
but by Mrs. Gould's order the door was
closed against him.
He then went around to the kitchen,
where he forcedhis way in, and frightened
one of the maids into giving him dinner
Mrs. Gould was Informed that the man was
in the house, and she promptly went tc
the kitchen and ordered him to leave
He refused to- go. Iei4
Mrs. Gould called a footman, Pierce, who
happened to be the same man whose SIC
Hamilton had taken. An encounter fol-
lowed between the two men, in which
| Hamilton received cuts and bruises which
showed plainly deputy sheriff was
summoned, and the butler was taken tt
| Long Island City where he was locked w
over Sunday. a
| Hamilton seemed repentant after Mrs
Gould had told her story of his delinquen-
cies. He said that he had BEEN drinking
| and that he was sorry he had forced hi!
way into the house. ti'Ev
| Mrs. Gould said that he " might be
charged with larceny for taking the foot
| mans $40, but she did not wish to press
that complaint, as she merely desired tt
make an example of Hamilton for thu
