NEW YORK, April 3O.-The trial OF
Anisia Louise de Massey for the murder OF
Gustav Simon stopped suddenly yesterday
afternoon when one of the jurors. In ques-
tioning a witness, made 1t known that he
had been to the scene OF the killing and
looked over the ground for his own snfor-
nation. There have been cases In which
verdicts have been reversed because juror
went to the scene Of the crime while the
trial was on. the theory being that juror
should consider nothing except the evidence
presented In court.
Justice Blanchard Is very DESTROYS of end
ing the trial before the month Is over, and
he was holding a session late yesterday
afternoon. Policeman Gustav Pratt. who
found the revolver on the stairway in the
building at 6O4 Broadway, where Simon had
his office and where he was shot, was de-
scribing where he had found the pistol. The
contention of the prosecution Is that Mrs
de Massey dropped the pistol on the stair
way as she went out The defense is that 1t
was dropped by somebody else, and who
ever dropped 1t shot Simon. So the ques-
ton of where and how the pistol was found
Is considered very important The police
man said it was on the stairway at the bot
tom of the building. Simons Office was on
the sixth floor.
Asked a Question.
There was not much surprise when Juror
George w. Guernsey got up and asked a
question. Both sides were through with
Pratt and he had left the stand when Guern-
sey called him back. Guernsey had been
asking questions before, as had other tu-
rors. a fact that has been commented upon,
as the Jurors in most cases ask few ques-
tons.
Il am familiar with that stairway, be-
cause l went there and looked 1t over
said Mr.. Guernsey, land 1 want to have you

Everybody in the court room sat up at
the unexpected announcement of the juror.
At each recess the jurors are instructed BY
the court not to discuss the case among
themselves or do anything that would In
fuence their judgment.
You had no business to do that" said
Assistant District Attorney Ely, who saw
visions Of a miStrial.
You had no business to go there said
Justice Blanchard as soon as he could get
his breath.

the policeman said.
The Rules Of Law.
''Of course, the juror did not mean to do
anything wrong. said Mr.. Ely. Il think
1t might be well to say that the jury must
not go and look at these premises or In
spect them without the permission of the
court and then they must go together as

through the newspapers and otherwise. Is
overwhelmingly opposed to engaging in any
contests within the party. save such as re-

GOULD WILL Fight
WlFE'S SUIT FOR
S250,0O0 ALIM0NY.

New York, June 10. Howard Gould
has decided not to go abroad this year.
Instead he will remain in New York for
the legal battle with his wife, formerly
Miss Katherine Clemmons, the actress,
who is suing him for separation and
alimony, which she wants fixed at $3.50,
600 year.
Mr., Gould has announced that his an
nual income is about 100000 from
fortune Of $4,000, 900. Mrs. Gould
says that she can prove that her husband
owns and has an interest in properties
which bring his income up to more than
100000. Upon this basis, Mrs.
Gould has decided to ask the court to
allow her $25o,ooo a year alimony.
Gases will be cited by Mrs. Gould's
attorneys in which courts have allowed
a wife one-fourth her husbands income.

ITS INFLUENCE ON BRIBERY.
Municipal Ownership Would Modify,
but Not Abolish II.

Municipal Ownership Would Modify
but Not Abolish II.
One Of the truest statements made
by advocates of municipal ownership
is that It would put an end to bribery
Of city officials by public service cor
porations. 1t certainly would wher-
ever that is practiced. But it wouldn't
put an end to bribeable officials. and
unless the city should manufacture its
own engines, machinery, street cars.
electric lamps and other supplies the
quality and price Of these would be
largely regulated by such officials.
Every one who is familiar with the
school trade knows that orders for
school books and supplies are in many
cities obtainable only by crossing the
palms Of members of school boards
with a liberal supply of gold and that
n change of textbooks is frequently
ordered merely because of these itch
ing palms.
Municipal ownership will not change
human nature, and venal officials can
hold up manufacturing companies just
as easily and proftably as they can
lighting and traction companies. Did
It ever occur to you that corporation
isn't anxious to get rid Of its money
that way? But when 1t comes to
holdup almost any one will give up
the "long green" to "publlc servants"
who are jealous. not for the public
welfare, but for their private purse.
