BONrS GEMS WERE
NOT PAID FOR

PARIS, Dec. 26.-The three remaining
suits brought by creditors with the OBJ
ject of making Madame Gould (for-
merly Countess Boni de Castellane)
jointly responsible with the Count for
certain claims were decided today. The
court found that she was in no way
responsible for the claims of M. Serg-
Ter, one of the largest creditors. who
claimed that II had been the practice
of the Castellanes ever since their mar
riage to appeal to him to extricate
them from financial difficulties. but
held her jointly liable for Jewels valued
at $4,000 purchased from Mile. Vera
Nimidoff OF Odessa, who sold the Jewels
to Count Boni through the Intermediary
of a jeweler.
The court found that Madame Gould
was Jointly liable for the sum of about
s57. 900. the balance due to the Hartogs
for a jewelry bill amounting to about
$137.00 provided the bill was not paid.
Three experts were appointed to ap-
praise the value of the jewelry.
