 NOT A DRUNkARD.
Mrs. Howard Gould Denies Husband's
 Charge of Repeated Intoxication.

Mrs. Howard Gould Denies Husband's
 NEW YORK, May 31.-Indignant at the charge made by her husband that her bibulous habits had wrecked their married life, Mrs. Howard Gould said that her counsel would hasten her suit for divorce so that she could get public vindication.
 ''This is only another shameless move in the conspiracy against me" Mrs. Gould declared. Every one knows that there is no foundation for any charge of that kind against me-"
 The charge to which Mrs. Gould re- fers was made by friend of her bus. band who acted as his spokesman. It was to the effect that MT. Gould re- fused to live with his wife because she was given to the use of intoxicating liquor and that he had repeatedly warned her she must reform or lose his love and esteem. The friend added:
 All his friends know what he has suffered in the last two or three years. He was extremely fond of his wife. and it was only because he found it intolerable to live with her further that he left her
 up to the time Mir. Gould left her he begged and pleaded with his wife to give up drinking. Things got so bad, however, that one day he told her plainly she either must give up liquor or give him up. Her reply settled the case so far as he was concerned. He decided that conditions in his home had become unbearable and that he would permit his wife to go her own way"

ACCUSE EACH OTHER
Becker and Graham In Dra-
 matic Scene at Jail.
BOTH AT ELfHURST MURDER.
Crowd at Flushing Fought With Police In Fury to Get at Graham to Lynch Him--Father Att
 taclxs Him.

NEW YORK, May 31.-There was a dramatic scene in the corridor of the Queens county jail when Henry Beck CT, who confessed to the murder of fourteen-year-old Amelia Charlotta Staffeldt, was brought out to confront Leon Graham, the youth who attacked five-year-old Mamie Luck in Corona and was arrested.
 The moment Becker glimpsed at the black haired, slouching young man he sprang toward him and, shaking his fist in his face, cried:
 You killed that Staffeldt girl, you pig! You jabbed the knife in her neckr
 You're a liar!' screamed Graham 'You did it yourself% Then he spat at Becker and attempted to kick him.
 The men were then taken to sepa- rate cells, and when Graham was in formed that Becker had confessed the murder he admitted having witnessed 1t. He said:
 T don't want to go to the electric chair. did not kill that girl. saw Becker knock her down. Then I hid behind tree while he stabbed her with the knife. We went to a pump and washed our hands. But never killed that little girl. He did it. After we went to that pump we separated, and did not see the fellow again un- til few minutes ago-here in the jail" >--~.
 The Queens county police are now convinced that Becker and Graham are equally guilty of the shocking Elm. hurst crime and that they are the two men seen by Mrs. Carmina Simonson washing blood from their hands on the afternoon the little girl was slain.
 A crowd of 2,OO0 besieged the Flush ing court when Graham was taken there to be arraigned and attempted to drag him from his police guards. Hundreds of men fought to get near the miscreant, and the throng that jammed the courtyard shouted: Lynch him! Lynch the fiend!'
 Still shackled to the detective and policeman, he was led up to the bar. Half dozen feet from him was the father of his little victim, John Luck. He is a rugged farmer, over six feet tall, with arms of iron and fists like a catcher's mitt.
 Graham was tottering and moaning with fear as he faced the magistrate. Before any question could be put to him he said:
 q plead guilty, your honor. Oh, I plead guilty" ....
 Then the question was asked what he did, and in his nervousness the young man described how he had at- tempted to drag the little child from the roadside. He had made only few gestures when the giant farmer sprang for him and struck at his head with all his might. Lieutenant Calvin threw up his arm and shunted the blow, whereupon three court attend ants grabbed the frenzied parent and held him fast.
 ''I don't blame you bit" said Mag istrate Connorton. "I can appreciate your feelings exactly. This prisoner represents type of man in whose existence it is hard to believe I will hold the prisoner without bail for the grand jury on charge of assault in the first degree. For such a crime he can be sent to prison for twenty years"
