HOWARD STINGY.
STATES FRIEND
OF MRS. GOULD
Rumored That CaStel-
lane Will Come Here
to Testify.

NEW YORK, June lin reply to the
charges that Mrs. Howard Gould's eN-
travagances were one of the reasons her
husband left her, a close friend OF Mrs.
Gould this evening gave a list OF some
OF the things which Mr.. Gould charged
up against her extravaganza"
The list includes presents given TO
Mrs. Gould and others, and it is said
that many OF these presents are now
in the husbands possession. tt is also
stated that out Of S6OO.O00 Mrs. Gould
received from her husband In five years,
she spent $4,000 Of it on Castle
Gould" and paid all Of their expenses
except Mr.. Gould's own personal &C
counts.
This, and the fact that it is now ru-
mored that Mrs. Howard Gould will en-
deavor to persuade Nine Anna Gould,
formerly the Countess de Castellane to
testify against her brother, gave the
Gould divorce case an entirely new in
terest today.
When Kingdom Gould sailed for Paris
to meet his father, he denied that his
mother. Mrs. George Gould. would be
on Mrs. Howard Gould's side of the
case when II came TO trial. but Mrs.
Howard Gould's friends say the young
man has been kept in ignorance Of the
progress OF the family rows.
Boui to Come Here?
Il is also rumored that Count Boni de
Castellane might be asked TO come to
America and testify for Mrs Gould. and
the names OF Harry Woodruff. the actor.
and Odette Tyler. the actress. with
whom Anna Gould and Howard had
their first romances. are mentioned as
possible witnesses in the case.
While Delaney Nicoll Mr. Gould's at
torney. has said he would have nothing
10 say about the Gould case. and il
was officially stated at his office within
the past forty-eight hours that he was
giving out no information derogatory to
Mrs. Gould, stories have been persistent
~ circulated TO the effect that Mrs
Gould was one of the most extravagant
women in New York
Calls Him Stingy Husband.
I'm reply 10 this. one of Mrs. GouId's
friends stamps Mr.. Gould as ono of the
sungiest husbands in the Inoneyed set
and makes public some highly amusing
facts showing how Mr.. Gould i'm the last
five years has kept an itemized account
OF every penny his wife spent
During the five years in question
said a woman friend of Mrs. Gould.
Howard allowed her a gross income
Of $4,000 year, or "a total of 5000 900
u seems like a lot of money on its face
but when the facts are understood II
VIII be seen that Mrs. Could was not
getting 50 much, after all for this rep-
resented practically every cent spent
by the Gould family, except Howard
own expenditures and what he wasted
on other women
Fortune for Castle Could
- great deal of this fortune spent nv
her on Castle Gould was for things that
Howard Could should properly have paid
Tor outside of the allowance including
the building Of stables. general improve
ments 10 the house and grounds.
Mrs. Gould had to pay the salaries
or every one Of the servants on the es-
tate, including buffers. Wallets, and so
forth. 1t included everything but 4
few presents from her husband. which
the public viii be amused to learn he
now charges up against her
Most Of the things for which Mrs.
Gould spent this S32O,OOo arc now at Cas-
Tie Could in Mr.. Goul1's possession.
and she cannot get at them.
